TY - GEN T1 - Faith in nation exclusionary origins of nationalism A1 - Marx, Anthony W. LA - English PP - New York PB - Oxford University Press YR - 2003 UL - https://colectivo.uloyola.es/Record/ELB163084 AB - "In a startling departure from a historical consensus that has dominated views of nationalism for the past quarter century, Marx argues that European nationalism emerged ... in the early modern era, as a form of mass political engagement based on religious conflict, intolerance, and exclusion. Challenging the self-congratulatory genealogy of civic Western nationalism, Marx shows how state-builders attempted to create a sense of national solidarity to support their burgeoning authority. Key to this process was the transfer of power from local to central rulers; the most suitable vehicle for effecting this transfer was religion and fanatical passions."
