Mehso-so

An interesting philosophical and anthropological analysis of nations and nationalism. Although this lacked the historical thinking that I find most engaging, it was interesting to look at the concept of nationalism through another lens. Gellner is structured- but I share many of the conceptual and explanatory criticisms this text has faced. This is probably a result of my historical approach.
