| Summary, etc.: | "Examines how nationalism, rather than internationalism, came to ensnare world politics in the early twentieth century ... Rich with astonishing detail gleaned from Zahra's unparalleled archival research in five languages, Against the World is a poignant and thorough exhumation of the popular sources of resistance to globalization. With anti-globalism a major tenet of today's extremist agendas, Zahra's arrestingly clearsighted and wide-angled account is essential reading to grapple with our divided present"-- Provided by publisher. |
