Description - Contentions of Nationhood by Patrick Hossay

The resurgence of "non-state nationalisms" constitutes one of the most puzzling political phenomena of the 21st century. In this work, Patrick Hossay presents an historical study of the origins of nationalist movements in Belgium (Flanders), Great Britain (Scotland) and Canada (Quebec). The work provides an analysis of three nationalist movements and the political construction of the idea of nationhood. Spanning European and North American history from the late-18th to the early-20th centuries, the text combines macro history and comparative political theory to address an important lacuna in the study of state formation and the historical process of constructing national identities.
