| Description: |
This monograph urges liberals not to surrender the concept of nationalism to conservative or racist ideologies. It offers a new theory of liberal nationalism which sees the concept both as an affirmation of communal and cultural memberships and as a quest for recognition and self-respect. |
| Synopsis: |
In this provocative work, Yael Tamir proposes that liberalism, with its respect for personal autonomy, reflection and choice, and nationalism, with its emphasis on belonging, loyalty, and solidarity, are not irreconcilable. Here she offers a new theory, "liberal nationalism, " which allows each set of values to accommodate the other.In this provocative work, Yael Tamir proposes that liberalism, with its respect for personal autonomy, reflection and choice, and nationalism, with its emphasis on belonging, loyalty, and solidarity, are not irreconcilable.
