The importance of this book stretches beyond academic theorizing: it should be re-marketed for mass consumption. Gellner's gifts are easy access and aptness. In a globalized world advancing toward force-fed monoculture, never before have the issues of defining and understanding nationalism demanded such focus. Nations and Nationalism, first published in 1983, forms part of a provocative, important overview of the human condition (to be found in Plough, Sword & Book, 1988) that essentially argues for a no-choice cultural pluralism and (key concept) de-fetishization of land. In Gellner's last work (Nationalism, London, 1997) published posthumously, he accepts the cage of existential anguish that dictates nationalism but insists on scientific optimism: "Better to try and deal with the conditions which engender nationalism than to preach at its victims and beg them to refrain from feeling what, in their circumstances, it is only too natural to feel." There is, beyond academe, compassion and prescience in Nations and Nationalism, and urgency in its follow-up. Faced with the biophysical issues of global survival, the virulence of modern weaponry, the accelerator of IT, we are commanded - at firesides, as well as campuses - to think again of the dangers of ethnic conflict and misunderstandings among nations and men.

Though Anthoney D. Smith and others have attacked Gellner's classic work, it still remains THE book explaining the birth of nations. In brief, Gellner's theory holds that the rise appearance of capitalism made national formations necessary. When people from radically different "low cultures" came together in the new industrial cities of Europe, a cultural bond became necessary. Grouping society into national units served this need by creating "high cultures".
Smith, who provides the principle opposition to Gellner's theory argues that nations "have navels"--that is, they are created from previously existing "ethnae." Unfortunately for Smith, historical evidence actually suggests that nations do not, in fact, have navels. Thus, Gellner's theory is correct. Well written and accessible to the non-academic, Nations and Nationalism is a must read for anybody concerned with the creation of the most important political ideology in the world today.

As one of the most widely-cited works on nationalism, Gellner's book is certainly worth reading just for the sheer reference value. However, as a scholarly work, it fails to answer the question it seeks to demystify. Basically, it says that nationalism rose in industrial societies where people "needed" a new standardized form of identity -- which the "high culture" of the nation happily provided. It is a great macro-theory, but when put to the test of historical evidence, it falls short. Why do people love and die for particular national identities? If they just needed some modern standardized form of identity, most any form that enables dynamic communication and interchangability in society would do. In short, Gellner fails to take into account the specific historical cases where group identity, rooted in previous historical experiences, has acquired a national character that has withstood enormous historical changes.
