Lloyd Kramer, Ph.D., professor and chair of the history department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will read from his new book in the Bull’s Head Bookshop at 3:30 p.m. Nov. 10.
The shop is in the UNC Student Stores off South Road; the reading will be free to the public.
The book, “Nationalism in Europe and America: Politics, Cultures, and Identities since 1775,” examines the history of nationalism’s influence on modern politics and cultural identities. It discusses how nationalist ideas gained emotional and cultural power after the revolutionary upheavals in the late 18th-century and extends the analysis to the 20th-century world wars.
Previously, Kramer wrote “Threshold of a New World: Intellectuals and the Exile Experience in Paris, 1830-1848” and “Lafayette in Two Worlds: Public Cultures and Personal Identities in an Age of Revolutions.”
