Blood and Belonging: Journeys Into the New Nationalism by Michael Ignatieff

4.0

Even more topical now in 2018 than at the time of its first publication, Ignatieff's account of nationalism and its complex components come to life through the author's highlighting of local examples. Arguments are eloquently made using the lived experiences of people whose lives have been affected by nationalism, from Croatia, Quebec, Kurdistan etc. Although Blood and Belonging is a work of journalism rather than an academic thesis, the discussion would have been strengthened had the theories and scholarly contributions sparsely mentioned been more properly referenced.
