Description: "Conceived as a study in the history of political thought, Steger's book examines the origins, meaning, and unfolding of Gandhi's dilemma as it played itself out in both theory and political practice.

This discussion is inextricably linked to significant and timely issues that are critical for the study of nationalism, for Gandhi's vision raises the important question of whether it is indeed possible to construct a benign type of nationalism that is rooted in neither physical nor conceptual forms of violence."--BOOK JACKET.
