About this product
Product Information
Nationalism is on the rise across the Western world, serving as a rallying cry for voters angry at the unacknowledged failures of the consensus in favor of globalization that has dominated politics and economics since the end of the Cold War. In After Nationalism , Samuel Goldman trains a sympathetic but skeptical eye on the trend, highlighting the deep challenges that face any contemporary effort to revive social cohesion at the national level. Noting the many obstacles standing in the way of basing any political project on widely shared values and beliefs, Goldman points to three pillars of mid-twentieth-century nationalism, all of which are absent today: coercive Americanization, total mobilization for war, and widespread religious faith. Most of today's nationalists fail to recognize these necessary underpinnings of any renewed nationalism, or the potentially troubling activities and consequences that they would engender (including extensive state activism in Americanization efforts and the massive growth of government that tends to accompany military mobilization). For that reason, Goldman concludes, those worried about the need for social cohesion should move in the opposite direction--toward support for political projects grounded in local communities.

Reviews
Nationalism has enduring appeal in different precincts of the American right and left, and Donald Trump's presidency made its defenders seem both more noticeable and more noxious. In this interesting and smart book, Samuel Goldman insists that calls to restore American cohesion are usually either abstract but empty or specific but implausible. The only credible way to unify Americans, Goldman concludes, would start with their plurality., After Nationalism is a gripping, fast-paced, and probing study into how American political leaders and thinkers--ranging from John Jay to Abraham Lincoln to Fredrick Douglass to Dwight Eisenhower--have debated the essence of American identity and what binds the nation together., In this slim and elegantly written volume, Mr. Goldman has distilled an immense array of arguments about America's meaning. The book is a pleasure to read., After Nationalism is an important book that merits serious attention from both academics and the general public alike. A true scholar, Goldman displays an impressive mastery of relevant sources and an affinity for synthesis. Moreover, non-specialists will find the presentation free of jargon, accessible, and relevant. Goldman's place is not among modern masters of long narrative. Rather, he belongs in the company of those theorists and observers who have grappled seriously and insightfully with the elusive concept of national identity., Samuel Goldman's After Nationalism explores competing narratives regarding American identity. While we can agree that America became independent after the Revolutionary War, we have long disagreed over what type of nation that conflict brought forth. Goldman's lucid work describes three of the most widely held accounts, each of which reverberates in current debates., "Nationalism has enduring appeal in different precincts of the American right and left, and Donald Trump's presidency made its defenders seem both more noticeable and more noxious. In this interesting and smart book, Samuel Goldman insists that calls to restore American cohesion are usually either abstract but empty or specific but implausible. The only credible way to unify Americans, Goldman concludes, would start with their plurality."--Samuel Moyn, Yale University, Goldman's book can easily be finished in a single day by an enthusiastic reader, clocking in at a mere 153 pages, but he accomplishes much in that short span: nothing less than a compelling reflection on the meaning of our country's existence....Were more people blessed with Goldman's perspicacity, especially those of us who argue and write about politics, our country would be far better off than it is now., "We all owe a debt of gratitude to Goldman for charting the path we have taken thus far, providing us with important lessons as we once again try and find a way to both understand America and its place in the world."-- The Dispatch, "In demonstrating how American national identities have morphed over generations, After Nationalism offers the hope at least that the country can endure. Divisions have always existed -- whether culture wars in recent decades, differences among the colonies, or animosity between the North and the South or between the Eastern seaboard and the rural interior. Despite such difficulties, the United States and its democracy have survived, even when we have disagreed on who 'we' were."-- National Review, Samuel Goldman offers readers a concise, learned, and profound reflection on the elusive nature of American national identity, whether defined in terms of covenant, crucible, or creed. Given the current divided condition of our polity and culture, I am hard-pressed to conceive of a more timely and essential book., "Samuel Goldman offers readers a concise, learned, and profound reflection on the elusive nature of American national identity, whether defined in terms of covenant, crucible, or creed. Given the current divided condition of our polity and culture, I am hard-pressed to conceive of a more timely and essential book."--Andrew Bacevich, president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, [R]ich and thoughtful...Goldman ultimately comes out against what he calls our 'present nationalist revival' (primarily of the Right, and also of the Left). But among this book's many virtues is Goldman's ability to present a genuinely sympathetic case for his opponents' views. If understanding the appeal of a political movement is a precondition for criticizing it, then Goldman is in a better position to offer such criticism than nearly any of his fellow contributors to that crowded subgenre, the Post-2016 Critique of Nationalism.
