Anthology of writings by selected nationalists ranging from Adamantios Koraes and Sun Yat-Sen to Edward Blyden and Frantz Fanon, many of which were first translated for this volume. In his 152 page introduction, Kedourie argues that nationalism is a Western invention, spread through Asia and Africa, 'assisted at times by the deliberate action of European Great Powers, who have occasionally found it useful to forment national agitations in the territories of rivals or enemies'.
