Özet:

This is a great study about the nature and history of the concepts of nation and nationalism since the French Revolution. The difficulty (or even the impossibility) of giving a definition encompassing all the meanings of these terms in their various historical situations and contexts is masterly exposed by Hobsbawm. This second edition of the book concludes with some reflections about the explosion of new nationalisms in the wake of Yougoslavia and Soviet Union disapearence: Hobsbawm sees this flurry of nationalism as the unfinished business of 1918, not as part of a new global political programme for the twentieth century, concluding that "the very fact that historians are at least beginning to make some progress in the study and analysis of nations and nationalism suggests that (...) the phenomenon is past its peak". He may as well be right.
