Ethnic Nationalism And State Power

This work rejects the view that the growth of Irish nationalism, Afrikaner nationalism and Zionism was due primarily to issues of race, religion or language. Instead, drawing on an analytical framework and close historical analysis, it shows how their ultimate success was the result of political, economic and organizational factors conditioned by sustained conflict with the existing state and other ethnic groups.

Review: '...this is a thoughtful and useful contribution to the comparative study of three troubled stories.' - Geoffrey Wheatcroft, Times Literary Supplement
