Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism

Anderson defines the modern nation as an imagined community inherently limited and sovereign. These communities are imagined because their members never get to know each other (due to their size) while having an image of a bond. Thus, all communities too large to allow face-to-face contact between all members are necessarily imagined. Nations are imagined as limited because they have bounderies, and as sovereign because they are politically articulated in the modern sovereign state. Last, they are imagined as communities because they are always perceived in terms of a strong horizontal comradeship. Anderson locates the roots of these new communities in these two cultural systems constituting the boundaries of pre-capitalist social space: the religious community and the dynastic realm.
