Title: Nation-states
Description: "In this insightful new collection of essays, prominent Scottish Marxist Neil Davidson brings his formidable analytical powers to bear on the concept of the capitalist nation-state. Through probing inquiry Davidson draws out how nationalist ideology and consciousness are used to bind the subordinate classes to "the nation," while "the state" is simultaneously wielded by capital as a means of conducting geopolitical competition. The questions Davidson takes up - from the extent to which nationalsim can be a component of left-wing politics to the difference between bourgeois and socialist revolutions - have wide-ranging implications for today's activists and historians."
