Haymarket Books | Book Launch: Nationalism as a Claim to a State - John Milios @HaymarketBooks | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
John Milios in conversation about his book Nationalism as a Claim to a State with Yannis Maramathas and Panagiotis Sotiris
———————————————————————————————
In theorising on the causes, preconditions, dynamics and internal conflicts of the Greek Revolution of 1821, the analysis of Milios tackles the issue of bourgeois revolutions in general. Additionally, his investigation of the historical emergence and the limits of the Greek nation calls forth the broader theoretical and historical question of the economic, political, and ideological presuppositions of nation-building. The book illustrates how nationalism brings the masses to the political forefront, which the capitalist state then incorporates into its apparatuses as ‘sovereign people’. Nationalism, being enmeshed within the political element, consists the basis upon which irredentism develops, recruiting populations into the expansionist-imperialist strategies of the ruling classes.
