PRIVATE PROPERTY AND THE ORIGINS OF NATIONALISM...

In the eighteenth century  before a national political movement took hold in either the United
States or Norway  both countries were agrarian societies marked by widespread private land
ownership. Tracing the emergence and development of national ideology in each  Eirik Magnus
Fuglestad argues that land ownership became tied up with these national ideologies and was
ultimately a central driver of nationalism. In this book  the United States and Norway emerge
as propertied communities  shaped by historical narratives of self-government and by property
regimes that linked popular sovereignty with land ownership. Covering the mid-eighteenth
century through industrialization in the nineteenth century  this book lays the groundwork for
understanding the rise of nationalism as an agrarian  landed phenomenon  which later became the
foundation of industrial society.
