Derek Hastings’s Nationalism in Modern Europe is the essential guide to a potent political and cultural phenomenon that featured prominently across the modern era. With firm grounding in transnational and global contexts, the book traces the story of nationalism in Europe from the French Revolution to the present.

Hastings reflects on various nationalist ideas and movements across Europe, and always with a keen appreciation of other prevalent signifiers of belonging – such as religion, race, class and gender – which helps to inform and strengthen the analysis. The text shines a light on key historiographical trends and debates and includes 20 images, 14 maps and a range of primary source excerpts which can serve to sharpen vital analytical skills which are crucial to the subject.

New content and features for the second edition include:

-

A chapter examining region, religion, class and gender as alternative ‘markers of identity’ throughout the 19th century -

An enhanced global dimension that covers transnational fascism and non-European comparatives -

Additional primary source excerpts and figures -

Historiographical updates throughout which account for recent research in the field

Reviews for Nationalism in Modern Europe: Politics, Identity, and Belonging since the French Revolution

Derek Hastings has written an erudite and insightful interpretive synthesis, rooted in an intelligent reading of the most up-to-date scholarship. It can serve as an excellent foundational text in any course on modem European political history or nationalism. Aviel Roshwald, Professor of History, Georgetown University, USA Hastings has produced an inclusive and eloquent study of nationalism in Europe. Detailed, well-argued, and nuanced, his book effectively demonstrates how ideas of nationality and national belonging have shaped the history of the European continent, as well as the modern world since the eighteenth century.
