A capital work in the fields of social psychology, ethnopsychology, and political psychology, this volume offers a profound and comprehensive scholarly insight into the roots and mechanisms of the upsurge of ethnonationalism at the close of the second millennium. The author of the work is the prominent psychiatrist and academic Professor Dušan Kecmanović, PhD (1942-2014), former tenured professor of psychiatry at the University of Sarajevo. Combining rich theoretical knowledge with firsthand experience of the Balkan conflicts of the nineties, he continued his career in Sydney. His scholarly authority and the fact that he is one of the most cited authors from this region lend exceptional global weight to this work. The book systematically guides the reader from the distinction between patriotic and national feelings, through the socio-psychological underpinnings of nationalist ideologies, all the way to a deep analysis of the causes, spreading mechanisms, and mass behavior driven by national blindness. The volume's value is further enhanced by an exhaustive scholarly apparatus including notes, an extensive bibliography, and a subject index, making it indispensable reading for political scientists, sociologists, psychologists, and historians. What makes this specific copy a true, unique collector's gem is the author's handwritten signature with a dedication, inscribed in Zagreb in June 1998.
