En savoir plus sur le livre

This fluent and powerful book demonstrates at the deepest level that early state formation rests on ethnic and linguistic homogenization - and this, together with the presence of civil society alliances that crosscut a territory, allows for successful nation building. Wimmer is a great sociologist at the top of his profession, producing a work of immense sophistication that exhibits all his gifts.--John A. Hall, McGill University
