Additional Reading
The origins and development of nationalism as a political idea are discussed in detail in E.J. Hobsbawm, Nations and Nationalism Since 1780, 2nd ed. (1992); Elie Kedourie, Nationalism, 4th, expanded ed. (1993); Louis L. Snyder, Encyclopedia of Nationalism (1990); Ernest Gellner, Nations and Nationalism (1983); and Hans Kohn, The Idea of Nationalism (1944, reissued 1967). Other discussions of the development of nationalism, including various interpretations in modern times, are Benedict Anderson, Imagined Communities, rev. and extended ed. (1991); Liah Greenfeld, Nationalism (1992); John Lukacs, The End of the Twentieth Century and the End of the Modern Age (1993); and Louis L. Snyder, Varieties of Nationalism (1976). A sociological treatment of the subject is Anthony D. Smith, Theories of Nationalism, 2nd ed. (1983). Hugh Seton-Watson, Nations and States (1977), is a detailed, worldwide study. A new approach to the problem of nationalism was introduced by Karl W. Deutsch, Nationalism and Social Communication, 2nd ed. (1965), and Tides Among Nations (1979), an overview of the development of his thinking. Nationalism outside western Europe is discussed in Gregory Maddox (ed.), African Nationalism and Revolution (1993); David Rock, Authoritarian Argentina: The Nationalist Movement, Its History, and Its Impact (1993); Jill A. Irvine, The Croat Question: Partisan Politics in the Formation of the Yugoslav Socialist State (1993); Rupert Emerson, From Empire to Nation: The Rise to Self-Assertion of Asian and African Peoples (1960, reissued 1970); Elie Kedourie (ed.), Nationalism in Asia and Africa (1970); and Selig S. Harrison, The Widening Gulf (1978). There are two valuable though dated bibliographies: Koppel S. Pinson, A Bibliographical Introduction to Nationalism (1935); and Karl W. Deutsch, Interdisciplinary Bibliography on Nationalism (1956).
