Recenzje

’...this should prove to be a very useful volume...Students of nationalism should find this book of particular interest.’ Professor Michael Billig, Loughborough University, UK ’...provide(s) much information from different historical, social and political contexts in which nationalism has survived and flourished in Europe...the book made me realize the great diversity on which the European nation-state structures are laid...’ The Ethnic Conflict Research Digest ’...a veritable compendium...surpasses similar published works...an invaluable top shelf graduate textbook.’ Nationalism and Ethnic Politics 'This volume undoubtedly presents a rich array of useful data and insightful observations, and, not the least because of an excellent index, commends itself to the contemporary historian as a sort of compendium.'
