Nations and Nationalism since 1780 by Eric Hobsbawm offers a critical and historically grounded examination of the emergence and evolution of nationalism as a defining force in the modern world. Hobsbawm traces the development of nations not as timeless entities but as social and political constructs that arose with the spread of industrial capitalism, state-building, and mass literacy. He argues that nationalism is a relatively recent phenomenon, rooted in the needs of modern states for unified identities and administrative control, particularly from the late 18th century onward.
