In many countries, 'nationalism' is a dirty word and it's not surprising why. That five-syllable word has likely started more wars, spilled more blood and destroyed more countries than that other dogma, religion. On the other hand, nationalism can drive citizens to out-perform everyone else and stand up for what they truly believe in. Michael Ignatieff explores this razor-sharp edge on which many societies rest in this revealing book. From the modern-day devastation that nationalism caused in the Balkans to the need for nationalism to restart Russia's economy, Blood and Belonging spans the centuries and scours the world for captivating stories. | Blood And Belonging by Michael Ignatieff, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
