Abstract

"The Antiquity of Nations provides a fresh interpretation of the nature of modern nations. Departing from conventional wisdom, Smith argues the case for a deeper understanding of their character, based on an ethno-symbolic analysis of the myths, memories, symbols and traditions of pre-modern ethnic communities. Building on his earlier work, the author seeks to balance the undeniable novel components of the nation with its ancient, rooted and persistent attributes" "The book will be essential reading for scholars and students alike of nationalism and ethnicity."--BOOK JACKET.
