This is a much-needed volume on the comparative history of nationalism in the Americas up to the 1930s that will bring an important American perspective to a subject studied more often in its European (and particularly Eastern European) dimensions.
--Jürgen Buchenau "University of North Carolina at Charlotte "The nations of the Americas, although the oldest and the most multiethnic, have been marginal to the scholarship on the nineteenth-century construction of nation-states. The international cast of historians, who in this outstanding collection establish the Americas as an especially rich field to investigate nations and nationalism, brings these nations into the discussion, making comparisons possible and opening yet more terrains for further inquiry. This book not only illuminates the dynamics and meanings of nationalism but also reveals the gifts bestowed by the modern nation-state and the violence and tragedies wrought by this form of human solidarity. It is certain that Nationalism in the New World will stimulate a whole cycle of new scholarship on nationalism and on the Americas as a scholarly field.
--Thomas Bender "editor of Rethinking American History in a Global Age "Although nationalism is a hot topic, much of the recent debate on the subject has ignored the New World. This valuable collection of essays casts fresh light on the histories of the United States, Canada, and Latin America and also provides an important new angle to our general understanding of nationalism, nations, and national identity. Nationalism in the New World deserves a wide readership.
--Peter Kolchin "University of Delaware "This fills a gap in the field of nationalism.
