Drawing on a wide\u003cbr\u003erange of examples from antiquity and the medieval epoch, as well as the modern world, he develops a distinctive ethnosymbolic account of nations and nationalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis important book by one of the world’s leading authorities on nationalism and ethnicity will be of particular interest to students and scholars in history, sociology and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScott Lash\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of many books and has also worked within the Centre for the Study of Cultural Values at the University of Lancaster.
