Excerpt from My Town: Or Community Patriotism Rome killed its genius, Caesar, and likewise many communities are killing their local genius. While in Muscatine, Iowa, under the auspices of the commercial club, I protested against the officers promoting a public market for the reason that it would antagonize the resident capacity to build social and material welfare. Whatever embarrasses the home business man is of doubtful merit inasmuch as the local business man is a leader in promoting social as well as other com munity welfare, those intangible but invaluable desi derata of every town. Business men personify Con structive Genius, therefore the commercial club of Muscatine, which was organized to conserve local life of the community, sought to destroy it by a public market, which was an incident kindred to that of the commercial club of Valley City, North Dakota, rais ing with which to equip their club rooms and the committee traveling all the way to St. Paul, Minnesota, and purchasing at retail there.

This is a lively and well-written textbook, which will prove a valuable addition to the IR textbook series - mainly because the ideas it covers have changed so fundamentally in the last ten years. Nationalism and ethnicity are uniquely considered within the context of both traditional IR theory and 'new' IR (ie Cold War perspectives). Joireman explains the conflict between primordialism (the view that ethnicity is inborn and ethnic division natural), instrumentalism (ethnicity is a tool to gain some larger, typically material end) and social constructivism (the emerging consensus that ethnicity is flexible and people can make choices about how they define themselves). Case studies are included on Quebec, Bosnia, Northern Ireland and Eritrea.
This book brings together a distinguished group of historians to explore the previously neglected relationship between nationalism and urban history. It reveals the contrasting experiences of nationalism in different societies and milieus. It will help historians to reassess the role of nationalism both inside and outside the nation state.
New expanded edition of a classic anthropology title that examines ethnicity as a dynamic and shifting aspect of social relations.
