Description: The ‘Spectre of Comparisons’ arises as nations stir into self-awareness, matching themselves against others, and becoming whole through the exercise of the imagination. In this series of profound and eloquent essays, Benedict Anderson, best known for his classic book on nationalism, Imagined Communities, explores these effects as they work their way through politics and culture. While the book is an indispensable resource for those interested in Southeast Asia, Anderson also takes up the large issues of the universal grammars of nationalism and ethnicity, the peculiarity of nationalist imagery as replicas without originals, and the mutations of nationalism in an age of mass global migrations and instant electronic communications. ISBN: 9715504639 Used paperback, in good condition, some underlined passages.
