| Reading through Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities |
[Mar. 17th, 2008|08:36 am] |
Two things strike me.
First of all, the man writes from some mythic fairyland of triumphant liberalism, one where a Christian could only imagine the entire world fall under the sway of his religion in "bygone epochs". (Also evolution... a lot of stuff, very deeply ingrained)
Also, nothing is more annoying than a [sic] that you have no way of explaining the reason for. And the man feels obligated to insert one into every quotation.
PS - One of those texts the gist of which you absorb by osmosis throughout your Political Science education long before you read them. |
