by Rudolf Rocker (Author)
Originally published in 1937, Rudolf Rocker's classic Nationalism and Culture is a detailed study of the intellectual development and cultural history of European nationalism. Tracing the evolution of religious and political systems and their relation to the authoritarian state, Rocker analyses concepts of 'Nation' as alleged communities of race, culture, language, and common interest.
