Anthony Smith Libri
Anthony D. Smith è stato una figura fondamentale nel campo interdisciplinare degli studi sul nazionalismo e l'etnia. Il suo lavoro pionieristico distingueva tra forme 'civiche' ed 'etniche' di nazioni e nazionalismo, proponendo che tutte le nazioni possiedono 'nuclei etnici' dominanti. Pur riconoscendo la natura moderna del nazionalismo, la ricerca di Smith ha sottolineato in modo unico le radici pre-moderne che plasmano le identità nazionali. Le sue intuizioni rimangono centrali per comprendere le complesse origini e manifestazioni delle nazioni.

This comprehensive study examines key theoretical interpretations of nationalism, analyzing both modernist perspectives and alternative paradigms. It covers influential thinkers such as Gellner, Hobsbawm, and Giddens, alongside alternative views from van den Bergh, Geertz, Armstrong, and Smith. By addressing these diverse arguments, the book offers a nuanced understanding of nationalism's complexities, making it a significant contribution to the field after decades of limited exploration.
For the last two centuries, nationalism has been a central feature of society and politics. Few ideologies can match its power and resonance, and no other political movement and symbolic language has such worldwide appeal and resilience.
Born and raised in Bronx, New York, Anthony Smith shares his painful life's tale about growing up in the Bronx that he compares to a jungle. With hopes of a new life in Pittsburgh, trouble and Anthony seemed to always meet each other. Yes, he made some bad decisions, but those decisions were made just to get ahead, to get a piece of redemption. After some time, Smith took a self-evaluation, and realized in order for him to have the redemption and the mental peace that he desires, he would have to make better decisions and surround himself with the people that are for him and not against him. After being falsely accused and wrongfully placed in jail, Smith was inspired by his pain and found the road to redemption. Smith hopes to reach everyone that reads his tale, not only for real legal assistance in vindicating his false imprisonment but to help those who can't help themselves.
