About this listen

This book is a meditation on the enduring power — and the quiet danger — of the nation. Drawing from personal memory, philosophical critique, and cultural analysis, it explores how nationalism, though a modern invention, has rooted itself deeply in identity, language, death, and belonging. It questions the myths of origin, the imagined unity of the “we,” and the emotional architecture that transforms patriotism into violence. While honoring the richness of cultural difference, it challenges the need for borders, purity, and exclusion as the basis of political life. Against the backdrop of migration, memory, and global interdependence, the book asks whether we can preserve diversity without nationalism — and whether we are ready to imagine forms of belonging beyond the nation. Neither utopian nor nostalgic, it is a call to reimagine solidarity without flags.
