Publisher’s Summary
I remain in the curious position of disliking, distrusting, disapproving and fearing nationalism wherever it exists…but recognising its enormous force, which must be harnessed for progress if possible.
In the last two decades the uses of the term nationalism have increased steeply with the rising tide of nationalist parties. In this collection of historian Eric Hobsbawm’s writing on nationalism, we see some of the critical historical insights he brings to bear on this contentious subject, which is more than ever relevant as we stand on the doorstep of an age when the internet and the globalisation of capital threaten to blow away many national boundaries while, as a reaction, nationalism seems to re-emerge with renewed strength.
More than any other historian of our time, Hobsbawm took great care to seriously consider these movements and never to decry nationalism and patriotism as simply absurd. The clarity of his insight is as vital today as it was in his lifetime: On Nationalism is an essential work for anyone who wants to understand the phenomenon.

I cant read him, his tome on Africa is full of racism. He uses the word “backward” over and over again, not as sarcasm which is what i though in its first couple of instances, he obviously believed the guff himself. . I had to stop listening in disgust. And he is held up as some super liberal Marxist. Its laughable. And im shocked folks on the left (of which i count myself) give him a pass because he claimed Marxist credentials.

@remittancegirl - Well, Adorno, Althusser, and even Foucault are thought to be from the left and they are worse than Hobsbawm,,, That being said, since they were used so many times in left circles, it is important to read them to know where and how critize them.

It’s a true tragedy if and when people we deem inferior and disgusting are on the right. And we fail to listen. But I digress.
Anyhow, one can love his/her country and its culture without being a nationalist. It does however depend on how one defines “nationalism”. Playing a victim and accusing every other country and nationality of the the hardships some people think they’re forced to endure…Well, that’s the wrong one.

It’s necessary to distinguish betw racial nationalism & civic nationalism.
@remittancegirl - Believe it or not, he said a lot worse than that. Check the bio.

Could we balance it out with socialism?

Some might say doubleplusgood to that, Rosco. Unfortunately, our bruised brethren in Eastern Europe maintain an unequivocal doubleplusubgood.
October 19th, 2021
…of course, that should read “doubleplusungood” - my orthography is increasingly ungood. I had a particularly intense Two Minutes Hate this morning, y’see. Happily, there’ll be no spelling errors when the Great, Kind, Bloodthirsty Leader is in power for life.

A double dumb ass on me. That’s fair.

But seriously, if one wants to know Hobsbawm at philosophical level, this is the book
October 20th, 2021
Thank you for this. I want to get to know what Mr Hogswallow/Hobswan/Hobbsian/Hobbiton has to say.
October 20th, 2021
Thanks a lot as always, Guest.

Nationalism is a good thing as long as you arent decimating your neighbors. Marxism and socialism on the other hand can only lead to shared misery. Crazy how the left used to be liberal, now they want more government control thinking the government they distrusted for decades now has all the answers all in the name of Orange man bad. Before Orange man you people werent so fking crazy!

Whether nationalism is good or bad is based on the culture it represents. DeGaulle, Ghandi, Churchill, or Korea Philippines. Nationalism has done a lot of good too. It’s like blaming being strong.

Condemnation by woke-ism? Nationalism has sucked ever since a group of people claimed superiority over another - which unfortunately has been the NATINALISTIC experience

Hobsbawm was a prolific historian and the modern age can’t be understood in any sensible way without his life’s work.
Remittancegirl is confused, Hobsbawm never wrote any “tome on Africa.” Though he had many damning things to say about the colonial plunder of it by Imperial powers.
As for the other usual blockheads in the comments, they’re either too obtuse to understand Marxism as a mode of historical analysis (i.e., tracing the evolution of society according to the material factors of the economy, labour, technology, and natural resources), or else they’re deliberately playing the dunce because they’re afraid of the superior argument they have to make a scarecrow of.
