Reviews

The volume excellently captures the tensions, contradictions, source problems, current theoretical and methodological questions and answers pertaining to nationhood from below in diverse historiographical traditions and macro-level explanatory frames. The volume as a whole provides dense insights and multiple perspectives, opening fundamental and critical views into the research laboratory of this type of history writing. (Oana Sinziana Paltineanu, European Review of History, Revue europeenne d'histoire, Vol. 21 (1), January, 2014)
