John Hutchinson

Nations as Zones of Conflict

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This compelling book argues that it is wrong to assume that nations are culturally uniform. Hutchinson provocatively asserts that resting on older diverse ethnic identities, nations adapt from the unpredictable challenges of modernity, and such plurality makes them prone to cultural wars.
