Britain, Turkey, Syria, Poland, Hungary, Austria and Germany: In the light of current political developments in Europe and beyond, and a rightwing populist turned president-elect in the United States, Imagined Communities is the book of the hour. Benedict Anderson’s 1983 classic helps to sharpen the senses and gain a more profound understanding on the roots of nationalism around the world. Hopefully, his analysis is of value in our search for emancipatory politics able to overcome this rather dark historical moment and move forward.
