"Nationalism: Change in Consciousness or Fiction?" Benedict R.O’G. Anderson is Aaron L. Binenkorb Professor of International Studies Emeritus at Cornell University. His "Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origins and Spread of Nationalism" is widely considered one of the most influential books of the late 20th century. Since its initial publication in 1983 "Imagined Communities" has been published in thirty-seven countries and translated into thirty-two languages. Anderson is among the foremost comparative scholars of contemporary Southeast Asia and global studies. His pathbreaking book-length works on the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand, as well as an array of highly influential articles, have opened up broad new areas of research. These works have consistently reshaped academic and political discussions globally.
