Synopsis
In this timely history, the editor of the National Review chronicles the history of nationalism and its intellectual roots, revealing how this political model-a refutation of globalism-became maligned and why it offers a viable way forward for America.
In The Case for Nationalism, Rich Lowry refutes critics of the phenomenon on left and the right. He sets out the argument for nationalism, including how it is necessary to democratic self-government.
Lowry points out that nationalism is an American tradition, one that is common to such diverse leaders as Alexander Hamilton, Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. According to Lowry, a true American nationalism should be grounded in our common citizenship, champion popular sovereignty, and exult in American history, culture, and ideals. It should be the enemy of identity politics.
Lowry reclaims the term "nationalism" from those who equate it with racism, militarism and fascism. Offering a sure-to-be-controversial viewpoint in the debate over the direction of our country, he explains that nationalism, far from inherently divisive or hateful, is how Americans become the best version of themselves.
He traces the development of an enlightened nationalism through Ancient Israel, which created the template for nationalism as we know it, and England, where the nation rose up against monarchical power. The American Revolution was the next step in the development of nationalism, which has been central to the American project ever since. It led to the expansion of the American nation's territorial extent and its power, and eventually to our invaluable contribution to the creation of an international system of self-governing nations.
Lowry contends that we must resist a cosmopolitanism that would erase America's distinctiveness and subsume it in multi-national institutions. Instead, we should preserve our national identity, put our national interest first, and embrace our role as the world's greatest nation.

The Case for Nationalism (Compact Disc)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Wilmington, DE, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Compact Disc. Condition: NEW. Compact Disc. It is one of our most honored clichs that America is an idea and not a nation. This is false. America is indisputably a nation, and one that desperately needs to protect its interests, its borders, and its identity. The Brexit vote and the election of Donald Trump swept nationalism to the forefront of the political debate. This is a good thing. Nationalism is usually assumed to be a dirty word, but it is a foundation of democratic self-government and of international peace.National Review editor Rich Lowry refutes critics on left and the right, reclaiming the term "nationalism" from those who equate it with racism, militarism and fascism. He explains how nationalism is an American tradition, a thread that runs through such diverse leaders as Alexander Hamilton, Teddy Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Ronald Reagan. In The Case for Nationalism, Lowry explains how nationalism was central to the American Project. It fueled the American Revolution and the ratification of the Constitution. It preserved the country during the Civil War. It led to the expansion of the American nation's territory and power, and eventually to our invaluable contribution to creating an international system of self-governing nations. It's time to recover a healthy American nationalism, and especially a cultural nationalism that insists on the assimilation of immigrants and that protects our history, civic rituals and traditions, which are under constant threat. At a time in which our nation is plagued by self-doubt and self-criticism, The Case for Nationalism offers a path for America to regain its national self-confidence and achieve continued greatness.
