Description

Yael Tamir makes a passionate argument for a different kind of nationalism - one that revives its participatory, creative, and egalitarian virtues. In "Why Nationalism", she explains why this positive form of nationalism is essential to democracy at its best and how it can be harnessed to address the problems caused by neoliberalism and hyperglobalism. Tamir argues that the Left must recognize the value of nationalism in order to reclaim it from right-wing extremists and redirect its power towards progressive ends. This timely and thought-provoking book is a rethinking of a defining feature of our politics, offering a provocative and hopeful vision for the future of democracy. By exploring the complexities of nationalism, Tamir provides a nuanced understanding of this often-misunderstood concept, making "Why Nationalism" a valuable resource for anyone interested in politics, philosophy, or social justice.
