Abstract / Description of output
Anderson is a leading specialist in Southeast Asian history and politics whose book Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism (2006) has been one of the most influential in the nationalism studies literature. It argued that the nation was a peculiarly modern conception of political community that originally took shape in the colonial Americas, and was made possible by the spread of literacy and printing in vernacular languages, and the decline of religious and dynastic authority.
