John Milios

Nationalism as a Claim to a State

The Greek Revolution of 1821 and the Formation of Modern Greece

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Greek Revolution of 1821 exemplarily illustrates how nationalism, as a politicisation of the masses and a novel form of subsuming populations under capitalist rule, creates the nation as a demand for political rights, and yet for national 'purity' and for the expansion of state borders.
