John Breuilly Books

This updated edition of Ernest Gellner s classic exploration of the roots of nationalism includes an extended introduction from John Breuilly, tracing the way the field has changed over the past two decades. As pertinent today as it was when it was first published in 1983.

Combining historical perspective and theoretical analysis, this book provides an overview of modern nationalism. The text explores recent developments in eastern and central Europe that have given the subject of nationalism a new significance. The author also addresses many of the debates that have arisen in current historiography and re-evaluates his own position.
