Note to Self: Imagined Communities vs. Nations and Nationalism
Benedict Anderson's (1983) Imagined Communities is a great book--but great at posing the problem of why political action and agency went to the ethno-linguistic nation and not to the class, not great at finding a solution to the problem...
**Ernest Gellner's also 1983 Nations and Nationalism is a much better place to start...
