Nations and Nationalism since 1780
Nations and Nationalism since 1780 is Eric Hobsbawm's widely acclaimed and highly readable enquiry into the question of nationalism. Events in the late twentieth century in Eastern Europe and the Soviet republics have since reinforced the central importance of nationalism in the history of the political evolution and upheaval. This second edition has been updated in light of those events, with a final chapter addressing the impact of the dramatic…
"The Making of a "Bourgeois Revolution
E. J. Hobsbawm The Making of a “Bourgeois Revolution” TO ENTERTAIN ANY THEORY ABOUT REVOLUTION,” WRITES JOHN DUNN, “—and it is not even possible to identify just what events do consti tute revolutions without assuming some theoiy about the meaning of revolution—is to assume a political posture. . . . The value-free study of revolutions is a logical impossibility for those who live in the real world” (Dunn, 1972:1-2). For the student of revolutio…

The Future of the State
After reviewing the historically specific characteristics of the modern nation state, this essay discusses both supranational and infranational forces which now work to undermine some of the powers and functions of even the oldest and most firmly established states. Two popular visions of alternative arrangements, associated with free-market ultra-liberalism and the philosophy of 'small is beautiful', are rejected, since neither the market nor th…
Guessing About Global Change
In this brief essay, Eric Hobsbawm reflects on the challenges of predicting global change in the late 20th century. He argues against deterministic approaches, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of human agency and historical contingency. Hobsbawm highlights the limitations of contemporary social science in forecasting long-term trends, particularly given the rapid and unexpected transformations of the era. He cautions against extrapolating fro…

The Historian between the Quest for the Universal and the Quest for Identity
It might be best to begin this discussion of the historian's predicament with a concrete experience. In the early summer of 1944, as the German army retreated northwards in Italy to establish a more defensible front against the advancing Allied forces along the so-called "Gothic Line" in the Appenines, its units carried out a number of massacres, usually justified as reprisals against local "bandit" (i.e., partisan) activity. Fifty years later so…

Nations and Nationalism since 1780
Eric Hobsbawm's brilliant enquiry into the question of nationalism won further acclaim for his 'colossal stature ... his incontrovertible excellence as an historian, and his authoritative and highly readable prose'. Recent events in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet republics have since reinforced the central importance of nationalism in the history of political evolution and upheaval. This second edition has been updated in the light of those…
Echoes of the Marseillaise
The bicentenary of the French Revolution has been dominated by those who do not like the French Revolution or its heritage. This book deals with a surprisingly neglected subject: the history, not of the revolution itself, but of its reception and interpretation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. A Critical assumption of the book is that while it is necessary and inevitable that historians write out of the history of their own times, those…

The new century
Eric Hobsbawm's AGE OF EXTREMES was a remarkable phenomenon, a book of serious and challenging historical analysis that became a worldwide bestseller. Now, THE NEW CENTURY continues Hobsbawm's analysis of our twentieth century, asking crucial questions about our inheritance from the century of conflict and its meanings for the years to come. Looking back over the last decade to learn something of the new era, Hobsbawm finds the distinction betwee…

Peasants and politics
This paper discusses the political relations of 'traditional' peasants to groups and institutions outside their local community, with special reference to situations in which they encounter the political movements and problems of the twentieth century. It stresses the separation of peasants from non-peasants, the general subalternity of the peasant world, but also the explicit confrontation of power which is the framework of their politics. The r…

A Case of Neo-Feudalism
The province of La Convención, department of Cuzco, in Peru became familiar to citizens of the outside world in the early 1960s, when it was the scene of the most important peasant movement of that period in Peru, and probably in the whole of South America. This might legitimately attract the attention of the social historian. At the same time La Convención is a special version of a more general phenomenon, which ought also to interest the econom…
