本书揭示了古代晚期到中世纪早期欧洲族群演化的真实版本，内容囊括从古代希腊到20世纪南非长达两千多年的历史。浪漫主义政治哲学、“科学的”历史学、印欧语文学和民族考古学等看似中立客观的学术工具共同创造了滥用和曲解历史的民族主义史学，为族群民族主义的发展提供了历史依据。书中， 格里不仅考证了古典晚期和中世纪早期欧洲的族群演化，还阐述了民族主义史学在1800至1900年形成的过程及其产生的灾难性影响。作者以广阔的学术视野和巧妙深刻的论证，向公众展示了历史的复杂性和变动性。

在种族主义、民族主义和国家主义纠缠混融的当下，这本有关欧洲中世纪早期族群演化的经典著作，在探索真知、道德警省和学科责任等多个方面，为我们树立了榜样。——罗新（北京大学历史学系教授）

一本极为出色的通俗作品。书中勾画了现代欧洲国民国家的源头，以及演化过程，再次证实了本尼迪克特·安德森有关国民国家的命题：它们是想象的共同体。它们的形成，罗马和基督教是两个关键因素。“蛮族从帝国里消失了，所以罗马人也绝迹了。”作者这句精彩的总结，试图说明，虽然现代国民国家其来有自，但它们与祖先的“家族相似性”都非常可疑。——刘苏里（万圣书园创办人）

这部极具原创性的著作，以与众不同的视角探讨了现代学术圈中的热议话题，同时又将读者的注意力引到这些争论与现代欧洲史的密切联系上。在思路的清晰度方面，这本书堪称典范，值得广泛阅读，它必然会引发学者间的一番热烈讨论。——彼得·布朗（普林斯顿大学荣休历史学教授）

自由意味着什么？公共生活中宗教所扮演的角色是什么？成为一个美利坚人代表着什么？

为何美国人对这些极其基本的问题见解截然不同？历史学家、获奖记者科林·伍达德认为，原因在于北美大陆的居民其实是由十一个民族构成的，每个民族都有其独特的历史渊源，可追溯至几个世纪之前；北美大陆被拥有不同宗教信仰、政治理念和人种特征的人殖民，他们创造出的区域文化自一开始就相互抵牾。从南方腹地到远西地区，从新英格兰到新尼德兰，每个民族坚持自己的独特理想直至今日，其结果可反映在美利坚合众国的建立中。

从美国独立战争到南北战争，再到最近的总统大选中地图所呈现的“红-蓝”之别，伍达德为美国的多重身份提供了富有革命性和启发性的观点，展现了其多重身份之间的冲突如何打造了美国的过去，并将如何影响美国的未来。

《民族主义》作者罗宾得罗那特·泰戈尔（1861-1941）是印度的诗人、作家、艺术家和社会活动家，而以诗人闻名于世。主要对西方的民族主义、日本的民族主义、印度的民族主义进行介绍。

本书为研究民族主义的名著，共有8章，包括“什么是族群性”、“族群性分类：我们和他们”、“文化不同的社会组织”、“族群认同和意识”、“历史中的族群性”、“民族主义”、“少数民族与国家”、“跨越族群”等。

在本書中，葛爾納深入分析國族主義的社會根源。他認為，國族主義的社會基礎，其實在於近代工業社會組織發展的需求。在一個以追求富裕與經濟成長的社會，只有仰賴一套共同標準的語彙，才有能力快速促進科技創新、職業流動、大眾傳播、普及識字率，以及普行通才教育。文化與國家之間的關係，因而有了和以往歷史經驗完全不同的進程。

《民族主义与领土》从领土的角度探讨了民族主义。作者认为，领土对民族主义极为重要，甚至可以把民族主义视为一种领土观念，这种观念深深根源于领土想象和领土传言。《民族主义与领土》论述了这些传言是什么，这些想象是怎样产生的，它们是如何传承下来的，民族主义现象的领土组成因素是什么。

《世界民族主义论》主要描述了近代世界民族主义在西方的起源、在东欧和亚非拉地区的兴起和发展的历史过程，较为详细地讨论了西方民族国家的兴起、亚非拉地区的民族运动与民族冲突的表现和原因，着重研究和分析了民族主义与国际关系之间的历史联系，以及冷战后新一轮世界民族主义浪潮的发展及其对国际关系的影响。针对冷战后国际社会、主要是西方社会中存在的所谓“中国新民族主义”的观点，《世界民族主义论》结合中国民族关系的基本格局和历史发展，对这一谬论进行了驳斥等。 《世界民族主义论》可作为高等院校国际政治、世界历史和世界民族研究等专业的教材，也可作为有关科研人员和一般读者的参考读本。

Three American missiles hit the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, and what Americans view as an appalling and tragic mistake, many Chinese see as a "barbaric" and intentional "criminal act," the latest in a long series of Western aggressions against China. In this book, Peter Hays Gries explores the roles of perception and sentiment in the growth of popular nationalism in China. At a time when the direction of China's foreign and domestic policies have profound ramifications worldwide, Gries offers a rare, in-depth look at the nature of China's new nationalism, particularly as it involves Sino-American and Sino-Japanese relations--two bilateral relations that carry extraordinary implications for peace and stability in the twenty-first century. Through recent Chinese books and magazines, movies, television shows, posters, and cartoons, Gries traces the emergence of this new nationalism. Anti-Western sentiment, once created and encouraged by China's ruling PRC, has been taken up independently by a new generation of Chinese. Deeply rooted in narratives about past "humiliations" at the hands of the West and impassioned notions of Chinese identity, popular nationalism is now undermining the Communist Party's monopoly on political discourse, threatening the regime's stability. As readable as it is closely researched and reasoned, this timely book analyzes the impact that popular nationalism will have on twenty-first century China and the world.

日本问题对中国政治发展的影响是本书的主题。“九一八事变”后，蒋介石奉行”攘外必先安内”的政策。这种政策在“西安事变”中并没有中断，直到1 937年8月在上海爆发战争，它才被完全放弃。作者在民族国家建设的分析框架下，用国民党、共产党叙事之外的“第三只眼睛”审视国民党政权建设与民族主义意识形态之间的一致与冲突，有助于我们加深对“南京十年建国时期”（1927～1937）的认识。

This 2002 study examines the process by which the seemingly impossible in 1987 - the disintegration of the Soviet state - became the seemingly inevitable by 1991, providing an original interpretation not only of the Soviet collapse, but also of the phenomenon of nationalism more generally. Probing the role of nationalist action as both cause and effect, Beissinger utilizes data and case studies from across the USSR during its final years to elicit the shifting relationship between pre-existing structural conditions, institutional constraints, and event-generated influences in the nationalist explosions that brought about the collapse of the Soviet Union. As Beissinger demonstrates, the 'tidal' context of nationalism - i.e., the transnational influence of one nationalism upon another - is critical to an explanation of the success and failure of particular nationalisms, why some nationalisms turn violent, and how a crescendo of events can overwhelm states, periodically evoking large-scale structural change in the character of the state system.

This updated edition of Ernest Gellner's classic exploration of the roots of nationalism includes an extended introduction from John Breuilly, tracing the way the field has changed over the past two decades. * As pertinent today as it was when it was first published in 1983. * Argues that nationalism is a product of industrialization. * The new edition includes references to important work on nationalism published since 1983. Second Edition not available in the USA.

《民族主义在中国的嬗变》突出了国家层面的民族主义在历史发展中的作用。民族主义的工具性作用决定了它可以被不同的主体所利用。其依附性决定了它必须与某种政治或社会力量相结合，表现为社会运动或历史过程，通过其所依附的对象并通过自身体现他者的性质和作用。在正确思想的导引和正当主体的运用下民族主义亦能成为社会进步的力量。

Nationalism is one of the most powerful forces in the modern world, yet it is surprisingly little studied and only imperfectly understood, either by its adherents or its opponents. Its irruption into the modern world is often explained as a resurgence of primitive, atavistic instincts, or as a delusion fostered by a few theoreticians, politicians or propagandists. The present volume interprets nationalism in terms of its social roots, which it locates in industrial social organization. A society that aims for affluence and economic growth, Professor Gellner argues, depends on innovation, occupational mobility, mass media, universal literacy, and education in a shared, standard idiom. Taken together these transform the relationship between culture and the state. The functioning of the society depends on an all-embracing educational system, tied to one culture and protected by a state identified with that culture. The principle one state, one culture makes itself felt, and political units which do not conform to it feel the strain in the form of nationalist activity.

《从西天到中土•印度当代新思潮读本•我们的现代性:帕沙•查特吉读本》收录了查特吉的五篇文章，“流行文化批判”、“我们的现代性”、“社群在东方”等；经由这些文章，可以了解查特吉所擅长的关于下列问题的批评、思考：流行文化在塑造大众对文化乃至社会、政治事件的认知方面的影响，现代社会的公共生活，以及亚洲各国内部不同社会阶层、群体的自我认知及其交往。

An indispensable introduction to this timely topic. Nationalism is one of the most pressing of global problems, exacerbating ethnic conflicts and increasing the likelihood of war. It is also basic to defining the rights of democratic citizenship, and can be a source of inspiration and social solidarity. In this fascinating overview, Craig Calhoun considers nationalism’s diverse manifestations, its history, and its relationship to imperialism and colonialism. A way of conceiving identities that is fundamental to the modern world, nationalism is distinct from kinship and ethnicity. It is an international discourse that shapes domestic politics and relations between states. Drawing on examples ranging from Eritrea, the former Yugoslavia, and China to France and Germany, Calhoun clarifies the ways national boundaries and identities have become central to the modern era, how they relate to the development of state power, and how a host of social movements and government policy makers try to make use of them. Calhoun also challenges attempts to “debunk” nationalism that fail to grasp why it has such power and centrality in modern life.

本书重点讨论作为一种意识形态，但又成为一种社会运动和象征性语言的民族主义，并且比较全面地探索各种民族主义的内涵、变种及来源。通过简要地概论民族主义的概念、评述当代西方民族主义研究中的主要理论贡献和现存的学术成果，作者全面地考察了有关民族主义概念的理论、意识形态和历史的不同棱面，以及在这一领域里的主要解释范式。同时作者还从历史学、社会学、政治学、国际关系学乃至人类学的不同角度对与民族主义相关的概念如民族(natlon)、族群(ethnic glroup)、民族认同(national identity)、族群认同(ethnic identity)、民族的国家(national state)等进行了颇为系统的考察，并在此基础上概括性地阐释以作者为主要代表人物的族群一象征主义(eth nic—symboIism)民族主义理论观点。
