Description
Why Nationalism by Yael Tamir is a thought-provoking exploration of a complex and multifaceted concept. Tamir argues that nationalism can be harnessed to empower individuals and promote democracy, rather than being seen as an antidemocratic force. The author contends that neoliberalism and hyperglobalism have allowed the right-wing to co-opt nationalism for their own purposes, but that this is not a fixed or irredeemable concept. Instead, Tamir makes a compelling case for a liberal and democratic form of nationalism that prioritises the needs of all citizens and promotes cross-class coalitions. This timely book offers a provocative rethinking of a defining feature of our politics, one that challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about nationalism and its potential role in promoting progressive values.
