Chosen Peoples,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chosen Peoples: Sacred Sources of National Identity (Hardcover)
I thought this book was an excellent read. Anthony D. Smith is a renowned expert on nationalism and did an excellent job in explaining how religous sources lend themselves to being used in order to fulfill nationalistic aspirations for many people. Time after time, Anthony Smith demonstrates how this phenomena is repeated throughout time and cultures. I think this book gives anyone a keener insight into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in terms of how Jews revere the Holy Lands and how this reverance guides their decision making in terms of this conflict. But more importanlty this book demonstrates how this is a very human quality that spans all peoples, cultures, geography, etc. and is a part of the human condition.
