This audiobook narrated by Juliet Stevenson reveals why nationalism is a permanent political force—and how it can be harnessed once again for liberal ends
Around the world today, nationalism is back—and it’s often deeply troubling. Populist politicians exploit nationalism for authoritarian, chauvinistic, racist, and xenophobic purposes, reinforcing the view that it is fundamentally reactionary and antidemocratic. But Yael (Yuli) Tamir makes a passionate argument for a very different kind of nationalism—one that revives its participatory, creative, and egalitarian virtues, answers many of the problems caused by neoliberalism and hyperglobalism, and is essential to democracy at its best. In Why Nationalism, she explains why it is more important than ever for the Left to recognize these qualities of nationalism, to reclaim it from right-wing extremists, and to redirect its power to progressive ends.
Far from being an evil force, nationalism’s power lies in its ability to empower individuals and answer basic human needs. Using it to reproduce cross-class coalitions will ensure that all citizens share essential cultural, political, and economic goods. Shifting emphasis from the global to the national and putting one’s nation first is not a way of advocating national supremacy but of redistributing responsibilities and sharing benefits in a more democratic and just way. In making the case for a liberal and democratic nationalism, Tamir also provides a compelling original account of the ways in which neoliberalism and hyperglobalism have allowed today’s Right to co-opt nationalism for its own purposes.
Provocative and hopeful, Why Nationalism is a timely and essential rethinking of a defining feature of our politics.

Although I was really concerned by the reviews of some readers, I still finished the book. I think we should not expect too much from a book that is a collection of subjective assessments and reflections on nationalism. So I never overestimated what I could learn from this book (it is not a textbook, after all), and I think that is why I enjoyed reading it. In short, the author focuses on the positive externalities that nationalism can have for fractured societies. She is ethnically Jewish and I am sure she knows about these things. The book is clearly structured and contains vivid reflections on nationalism. I liked how Tael Tamir describes the role of the public sector in nationalism. She also clearly distinguishes between extremists and liberals and ordinary nationalism and criticizes globalism and some democracy-based forms of rapid economic growth and development.
