Who is the author of the book, "Imagined Communities", in which the issue of nationalism is discussed ?

  • A.Arnest Gellner
  • B.Benedict Anderson
  • C.Anthony Smith
  • D.Steven Grosby

Answer: B

Imagined Communities was written by Benedict Anderson.

Anderson's book (1983) argued that a nation is an 'imagined political community', because its members will never meet most of their fellows yet feel a common bond, and that print capitalism made this imagining possible.

Ernest Gellner (spelt 'Arnest' in the paper) wrote Nations and Nationalism, Anthony Smith is known for the ethno-symbolist approach, and Steven Grosby wrote on nationalism and nationality, but none wrote this title.
