Reviews

The Persistence of Nationalism convincingly shows a way out of the either/or quandary between nationalism and cosmopolitanism by bringing the city back at the centre of the debate. By investigating how people actually develop elective affinities, affective investments and identifications through quotidian encounters, it shows how people negotiate workable terms of living together. This is the best critical introduction to nationalism from an urban perspective. Engin Isin, The Open University, UK
