The American revolution produced a new idea: a nation-state united by something other than ethnic affiliations.

The article "Nationalism: Review of Kin and Country" by David Goodhart, published on MSN, explores the concept of nationalism through the lens of familial and communal bonds. Goodhart argues that nationalism is not merely about exclusion or xenophobia but is deeply rooted in the natural human inclination towards kin and community. He discusses how national identity provides a sense of belonging and shared destiny, which can be both inclusive and beneficial for societal cohesion. The review delves into how modern societies grapple with balancing national identity with globalism, suggesting that a well-managed nationalism can foster social trust and solidarity, while also addressing the challenges posed by immigration and multiculturalism. Goodhart emphasizes the importance of recognizing and integrating these natural human tendencies into policy-making to create a more harmonious society.
