Imagined Communities, first published in 1983, has a Wikipedia entry. A modern retrospective review summarizes Anderson's historical arguments accurately and acknowleges the book as a classic. The reviewer, writing for The New Republic (in 2024 a "progressive" magazine complains that Anderson failed to support the values of 2024 progressives, and suggests Anderson should have challenged the colonial thinking of European and American academic historians more.
Anderson grappled with the role of the printing press in establishing national European languages. He discussed the consequences of social practices in Europe towards Europeans who emigrated to colonized lands, and towards the indigenous colonized peoples as factors that caused social and economic losses and contribued to the growth national ideas. His work concentrates on nationalism in the former Spanish colonies in the Americas, and Southeast Asia (mainly Indonesia), rejecting the Marxist fables that capital and class conflict explain everything, and that nationalism, language and culture are not important.
The book is informative on real facts and real events in the real world.… (altro)
