Synopsis
Why Nationalism Is A Permanent Political Force--and How It Can Be Harnessed Once Again For Liberal Ends. Populist Politicians Exploit Nationalism For Authoritarian, Chauvinistic, Racist, And Xenophobic Purposes, Reinforcing The View That It Is Fundamentally Reactionary And Antidemocratic. The Author Makes A Passionate Argument For A Very Different Kind Of Nationalism--one That Revives Its Participatory, Creative, And Egalitarian Virtues, Answers Many Of The Problems Caused By Neoliberalism And Hyperglobalism, And Is Essential To Democracy At Its Best. Yael Tamir ; Foreword By Dani Rodrik. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
