This book is a meditation on the enduring power — and the quiet danger — of the nation. Drawing from personal memory, philosophical critique, and cultural analysis, it explores how nationalism, though a modern invention, has rooted itself deeply in identity, language, death, and belonging.

While honoring the richness of cultural difference, it challenges the need for borders, purity, and exclusion as the basis of political life.
