Imagined Communities: Benedict Anderson What makes people die for nations? This classic textbook on nationalism uses specific models of societal change to understand theoretical models of nationhood. Anderson’s prose is lyrical as it is insightful, carrying its academic heft lightly. Ultimately, he concludes that ‘The nation is imagined as limited because even the largest, encompassing perhaps a billion living human beings, has finite, if elastic, boundaries beyond which lie other nations.’ A truly influential text that feels as fresh today as in 1983
