Summary In this book, Maarten Van Ginderachter investigates the relationship between working-class identities, socialist politics, ethnicity and nationhood in modern Europe. This new contribution to nationalism studies challenges the dominant view of nationalism as the result of modernization as well as the assumption that nationalism is necessarily a reflection of entho-linguistic identity.
