Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism
N2  - "Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism", by Benedict Anderson, argues that nations are imagined communities. This means that while nations are real entities, their members' sense of belonging is based on a shared identity and imagined connection rather than direct, face-to-face relationships. The book explores how this "imagined community" concept arose through historical factors like the decline of religious communities, the rise of print capitalism, and the spread of vernacular languages.
