A review by douglasferb
Notes on Nationalism by George Orwell

5.0

Very insightful and challenging discussion of what we would probably call tribalism more than nationalism, as this essay goes after both right-wingers and left-wingers equally. I heartily recommend reading it because it's so short, and I especially value the conclusion that he reaches, that while those of us who are tribal cannot simply think ourselves out of it, knowing that we are tribal is a start. Perhaps that's the best we can hope for, and hopefully it is enough.
