Geoffrey Hosking & George Schopflin 
Myths and Nationhood [EPUB ebook] 

Myths are central to the way we live and how we define ourselves. In this pioneering book, a group of specialists—among them Anthony Smith, Norman Davies, Geoffrey Hosking and George Schopflin—look at the general and theoretical nature of myth on a universal basis and examine the specific myths of various nations. With nationhood and ethnicity at the centre of political attention, the book is timely in illuminating the deeper, underlying issues of nationalism that cause so much conflict throughout the world.
