Author Says Nationalism Can Be A Force For Good

Anthony Crider, CC BY 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=61769434

Nationalism is getting a bad name in parts of the world, especially in the United States, where it is often preceded by the world "white." 

Yoram Hazony will not defend that brand of nationalism, but he does see plenty to like in the impulse to defend independent states.
