Nationalism and secession in combination constitute one of the most
important global historical phenomena in modern history, accounting
for one half of the world's nation-states. While all the particular
instances are studied, the general historical phenomenon has been
too little studied. This book . . . makes a huge contribution to
the study of nations and nation making.--Thomas Bender "author of A
Nation Among Nations: America's Place in World History"
These thought-provoking essays explore the role played by secession
in state making and state breaking in the modern world. They will
be of great interest to students of nationalism and national
identity.--Peter Kolchin "Henry Clay Reed Professor of History,
University of Delaware"
