Cited more often than any other single English-language work in the human sciences, it is read around the world in more than thirty translations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten with exemplary clarity, this illuminating study traces the emergence of community as an idea to South America, rather than to nineteenth-century Europe. Later, this sense of belonging was formed and reformulated at every level, from high politics to popular culture, through print, literature, maps and museums. Following the rise and conflict of nations and the decline of empires, Anderson draws on examples from South East Asia, Latin America and Europe's recent past to show how nationalism shaped the modern world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784786755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Benedict Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36668705636508,"sku":"9781784786755","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_62908f48-1fc2-4287-8bb5-59f262edef2f.jpg?v=1603918242","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/imagined-communities-reflections-on-the-origin-and-spread-of-nationalism-9781784786755","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
