Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the concept of patriotism, arguing that it creates societal division and is used by leaders to exploit the masses for personal gain. The author, a prominent sociologist, presents a detailed analysis of the historical roots of patriotism and traces its evolution over time. The book draws on a range of examples from different countries to illustrate how patriotism has been used to justify wars, oppression, and the suppression of human rights. The author argues that patriotism fosters a false sense of national superiority, leading to discrimination and conflict among different groups. Ultimately, the book calls for a rejection of patriotism and a focus on building a more just and equitable society.
