Was Anderson's nationalism theory universal?
Some might perceive my work as too focused on specific historical contexts, leading to a critique that it might not be universally applicable. However, my intention was to highlight the *contingency* of nationalism, showing it as a historical construct rather than an eternal essence. While my examples were drawn from particular experiences, the underlying logic of imagined solidarity through shared cultural products and historical processes aimed for broader resonance.
