Description - National Questions: Theoretical Reflections on Nations and Nationalism in Eastern Europe by Alexander Motyl
National Questions consists of fifteen formerly published articles on nations and nationalism by Alexander J. Motyl, professor of political science at Rutgers University – Newark. Combining social science with the multidisciplinarity of area studies, Motyl discusses the malleability and modernity of national identity, the attractions and limits of social constructivist imaginings of nations, the impact of national discourses, binary morality, and historical narratives on interpretations of the Holocaust and the Holodomor, the relationship between liberalism, nationalism, and fascism, and the role of national identity and nationalism in Eastern Europe in general and the Soviet Union, Ukraine, and Russia in particular. Throughout, Motyl questions conventional wisdom, exposes its inconsistencies and weaknesses, and encourages readers to rethink their views in light of conceptual clarity, theoretical rigor, elementary logic, and empirical evidence.
