Taking a global approach, the collection includes case studies from the Middle East, Africa, Asia and North America. Unique not only in its wide range of geographically diverse case studies, this book is also innovative due to its comparative approach that combines different perspectives on how nations have been understood and how they came into being, highlighting the transnational connections between various countries. The authors examine what is meant by the concepts of ?nation? and ?national identity,? discussing themes such as citizenship, ethnicity, historical symbols and the role of elites. By exploring these entangled categories of nationalism, the authors argue that throughout history, elites have created ?artificial ? versions of nationalism through symbolism and mythology, which has led to nationalism being understood through social constructivist or primordialist lenses. This diverse collection will appeal to researchers studying nationalism, including historians, political scientists and anthropologists. Jan Záho?ík is Associate Professor of Modern History, currently at the Department of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Czech Republic. He was a visiting professor at the University of Pavia, and closely collaborates with Jimma University in Ethiopia. His research focuses on the modern history and politics of the Horn of Africa, and conflicts in Sub-Saharan Africa. Antonio Morone is Associate Professor of Contemporary African History at the University of Pavia in Italy. Having previously been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Tripoli, Libya, and at the University of La Manouba, Tunisia, Antonio now teaches colonial and postcolonial history, as well as the history of the Mediterranean and Eastern Africa. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Political History 606 $aWorld history 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aAfrica$xHistory 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aModern History 606 $aHistory of the Middle East 606 $aAfrican History 615 0$aWorld history. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aMiddle East$xHistory. 615 0$aAfrica$xHistory. 615 14$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aHistory of the Middle East. 615 24$aAfrican History. 676 $a320.54 676 $a320.5409 702 $aZa?hor?i?k$b Jan 702 $aMorone$b Antonio M. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910583501603321 996 $aHistories of nationalism beyond Europe$92997492 997 $aUNINA
