Encountering Nationalism introduces students to concepts of nationalism in an accessible, critical, and timely way. It provides an overview of the central theories, aspects, and inconsistencies of nationalism. The book explores the promises and pitfalls of nationalism, its cultural and political aspects, and its revolutionary and repressive possibilities. The chapters are organized around the importance of the state, race, gender, sexuality, and ethnicity to nationalism, and the future of nationalism. Abstract arguments are bolstered by clear and specific examples drawn from momentous events and from the well of everyday life, such as the aftermath of September 11, beauty pageants, ethnic conflicts, and sexual respectability. Encountering Nationalism is an engaging introduction to the diverse meanings of nationalism and its most important aspects.
"Puri is particularly good at demonstrating the extent to whichnationalisms are gendered ... The book is an interpretative essaythat seeks to realign debate on its subject. In this it ischallenging and interesting." Ethnic and RacialStudies
"The book explicitly discusses the wide array of debatescentered around the theme of nationalism and therefore acts as awork that provides a seminal undersatnding of the issue ofnationalism." International Journal of ContemporarySociology
"This is a wonderful entry point for students and faculty tryingto get a grip on the often slippery but politically fraught idea,and practice, of nationalism. Puri puts earlier discussions ofnationalism into a post-September 11 focus. Moreover, she bringsthe ongoing debates about the nature and uses of nationalism up todate by showing how central to nationalism are presumptions aboutwomen, and sexuality." - Cynthia Enloe, ClarkUniversity
