"A classic work on nationalism, originally published thirty years ago and now reissued with a new preface by the author, Social Preconditions of National Revival in Europe provides excellent historical and political background to the profusion of recent nationalist movements in Eastern Europe. Miroslav Hroch develops and demonstrates empirically the concept of a three-stage process of nationalist mobilization: heightened cultural awareness of national distinctiveness among intellectuals and literati, a concept of nationalism as a political program, and mass mobilization on behalf of this doctrine."--BOOK JACKET.
