520 _a"A new global history of nationalism. Today, almost all countries are considered nation-states, but only a handful conform to the original nationalist ideal of a unitary state which governs an ethnically homogenous nation, an ideal which has rarely been realized in the past. Given this disjunction between the ideal and reality, what explains the extraordinary success of the nation-state model - a form of statehood based on popular sovereignty - and the seductive power of the myth of national homogeneity? Most existing studies focus on the activities of nationalist movements, their views on the nation's identity and the wars and revolutions that produced nation-states. This has served to overemphasize the singularity of each case, producing a very fragmented picture overall. In this book, author Eric Storm takes a global approach by examining the structural changes that were engendered by the advance of the nation-state model and the nationalization of culture. Emphasizing how conceptions of the nation changed profoundly over time, the book details how the rise of nationalism fundamentally affected the everyday life of ordinary people across the globe. Storm explores four interrelated topics chronologically: the rise, dissemination, and evolution of the nation-state model, which was first developed during the Atlantic Revolutions; the implications of national citizenship for citizens and the attempt by nation-states to expand the ambit of citizenship, even while more strictly excluding outsiders; the allure of nationalism, as the existence of differentiated nations was increasingly taken for granted in the humanities, social sciences and high culture; and, finally, the process whereby nationalism became ingrained in daily life and the physical environment. In making use of a global comparative approach, Storm makes clear that no nation has been unique; rather, they have all conformed to the nation-state model"--
520 _a"A global perspective on the nature and evolution of nationalism, from the early modern era to the presentThe current rise of nationalism across the globe is a reminder that we are not, after all, living in a borderless world of virtual connectivity. In Nationalism, historian Eric Storm sheds light on contemporary nationalist movements by exploring the global evolution of nationalism, beginning with the rise of the nation-state in the eighteenth century through the revival of nationalist ideas in the present day. Storm traces the emergence of the unitary nation-state-which brought citizenship rights to some while excluding a multitude of "others"-and the pervasive spread of nationalist ideas through politics and culture.Storm shows how nationalism influences the arts and humanities, mapping its dissemination through newspapers, television, and social media. Sports and tourism, too, have helped fashion a world of discrete nations, each with its own character, heroes, and highlights. Nationalism saturates the physical environment, not only in the form of national museums and patriotic statues but also in efforts to preserve cultural heritage, create national parks, invent ethnic dishes and beverages, promote traditional building practices, and cultivate native plants. Nationalism has even been used for selling cars, furniture, and fashion.By tracing these tendencies across countries, Storm shows that nationalism's watershed moments were global. He argues that the rise of new nation-states was largely determined by shifts in the international context, that the relationships between nation-states and their citizens largely developed according to global patterns, and that worldwide intellectual trends influenced the nationalization of both culture and environment. Over the centuries, nationalism has transformed both geopolitics and the everyday life of ordinary people"--
