A review by discobanana
Nations and Nationalism since 1780: Programme, Myth, Reality by Eric Hobsbawm
3.0
The vagueness of the subject has found its way into the book's structure. While Hobsbawm is hard to read (I don't mind it personally), it's safe to say, the lack of framework makes this book even harder.
The book nonetheless picks itself around the end, it is worth reading alone to realize how unrealizable the myth that is nationalism is. Hobsbawm rightfully points at several other works & awaits for future analyses & better understandings.
