NATIONAL QUESTIONS THEORETICAL REFLECTIONS ON N...

Combining social science with the multi-disciplinarity of area studies  Alexander Motyl
discusses in fifteen essays the malleability and modernity of national identity  the
attractions and limits of social constructivist imaginings of nations  the impact of national
discourses  binary morality  and historical narratives on interpretations of the Holocaust and
the Holodomor  the relationship between liberalism  nationalism  and fascism  and the role of
national identity and nationalism in Eastern Europe in general and the Soviet Union  Ukraine 
and Russia in particular. Throughout the chapters  Motyl questions conventional wisdom  exposes
its inconsistencies and weaknesses  and encourages readers to rethink their views in light of
conceptual clarity  theoretical rigor  elementary logic  and empirical evidence.
