Abstract
This introductory chapter proposes a new approach to understanding the dynamics of nationalism. The book understands the task of nationalizing one’s “own people” as the basic structural condition on which national projects are founded and renewed. The chapter then approaches nationalist politics in Bosnia using what Claudio Lomnitz has characterized as “grounded theory.”
