subject. His publications include Nationalism(1994) and Ethnicity
(1996) (both co-edited with John Hutchinson) from the Oxford
Readers series, The Ethnic Origins of Nations (Blackwell, 1986),
National Identity (Penguin, 1991), Nationalism and Modernism
(Routledge, 1998), Myths and Memories of the Nation (OUP, 1999),
