{"product_id":"the-invention-of-tradition-canto-classics-9781107604674","title":"The Invention of Tradition (Canto Classics)","description":"Many of the traditions which we think of as very ancient in their origins were not in fact sanctioned by long usage over the centuries, but were invented comparatively recently. This book explores examples of this process of invention - the creation of Welsh and Scottish 'national culture'; the elaboration of British royal rituals in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the origins of imperial rituals in British India and Africa; and the attempts by radical movements to develop counter-traditions of their own. It addresses the complex interaction of past and present, bringing together historians and anthropologists in a fascinating study of ritual and symbolism which poses new questions for the understanding of our history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Hobsbawm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Canto Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107604674","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709313880201,"sku":"9781107604674","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_0b7c83b5-f2c7-4803-b05a-7176a2c7580b.jpg?v=1719513641","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-invention-of-tradition-canto-classics-9781107604674","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
