Nation and Violence

Nationality or nationality, like nationalism, are a peculiar cultural relic. Says Benedict Anderson, American historian and political scientist. The nations are pictured as limited communities, due to the fact that even the largest community in the largest territory must always stay limited due to geographical boundaries and the belief of members of the community of its belonging to a given place. Nationalism in turn is the view of limited people – limited not only in the sense of a horizon narrowed to their own nation, but besides limited in the perception of reality.
