Instead, the contemporary world is witnessing the globalization of the nation form. Drawing from extensive fieldwork in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, along with insights from Peter van der Veer's comparative work on religion and nation, the book delves into diverse practices of nationalism, including its interactions with migration, rituals of sacrifice and prayer, music, media, e-commerce, Islamophobia, bare life, secularism, literature, and atheism. By offering a comprehensive analysis, the volume provides fresh insights into nationalism in a broader context, making it an invaluable resource for students and researchers interested in nationalism beyond the Western world, particularly in anthropology, sociology, and history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe study of nationalism has long been a central concern in political science, sociology, and cultural studies.

Contrary to popular belief, globalization is not solely a Western phenomenon; it has also affected non-Western countries, leading to the emergence of new forms of nationalism. The globalization of the nation form refers to the spread of national symbols, values, and institutions across borders, facilitated by various factors such as international trade, travel, and communication technologies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractices of Nationalism:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book delves into various practices of nationalism in different regions of the world.
