Day 14: Imagined Communities by Benedict Anderson

A book about how artificial the idea of a nation is. The core of the book is the point that we will never have direct contact with even a fraction of those that we feel belong to our national community, so somehow that community feeling must be generated.

I liked his focus on non-European nationalsim, which I knew less about, and which made the distinction between language and national communities much more evident

The cover of Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities. It's a spare cover, with the author, title and subtitle across the top on a white bacground, and a small photograph below them. The photograph is a formal still of three men posing in front of some kind of crest. The one in the middle is sitting down, with the two on either side standing up. The one on the right has his hand on the shoulder of the seated man.
