Benedict Anderson Bücher

Benedict Andersons bekanntes Buch erfreut sich ungebrochener Popularität und erscheint hier in der dritten Auflage. Nach Anderson gibt es keine Nationen, die „Nation“ ist eine Erfindung, ein Modell, das nur in bestimmten historischen Konstellationen möglich war. Er löste damit Debatten aus, die bis heute nicht abgeschlossen sind. Beim ersten Erscheinen der deutschen Ausgabe 1988 wurde Anderson vorgeworfen, dass seine Perspektive außereuropäisch und kulturanthropologisch sei. Heute macht gerade das den Reiz des Buches aus.
