The Best Part of Publishing is ... the Publication! I just got six (!) copies of
Nationalism and War, which is a volume edited by John Hall and Siniša Malešević. I have a chapter: "When Nationalists Disagree: Who Should One Hate and Kill?" It develops the xenophobia stuff that appeared in my
2008 book with Bill Ayres. One of my regrets at McGill was that I didn't hang out enough with John Hall, an incredibly bright and erudite sociologist working on nationalism. The nice thing about this project that produced this volume is that it gave me a chance to do hang out with him and his smart sociologist friends.
I often tell my students to avoid participating in edited volumes, as they are frequently a great deal of work that takes forever to get published (since they go at the speed of the slowest contributor) and rarely have any visibility. I do tell them that if it gives you a chance to hang out with really interesting people, do it for that. And voila!
Check it out--it is a very interesting read (and not as American-centric as the cover photo suggests).
