Neil Davidson's Nation-States: Consciousness and Competition at Bookmarks, 1 Bloomsbury Street, London, WC1B 3QE on Thursday 11 August, 6:30pm.
Quote:
In his latest collection of essays, Neil Davidson brings his formidable analytical powers to bear on the concept of the capitalist nation-state. Through probing inquiry, Davidson draws out how nationalist ideology and consciousness is used to bind the subordinate classes to “the nation,” while simultaneously using “the state” as a means of conducting geopolitical competition for capital.
