Nations and Nationalism (1983) is one of Ernest Gellner's major books in which he expands on his theory of nationalism.

O'Leary describes the book as "Gellner's most elaborate statement on the subject [of nationalism); because it is largely an expansion of the themes first sketched in Thought and Change.... he never repudiated any of the core propositions advanced in these texts", but he clarifies and qualifies some of them further in his Encounters with Nationalism (1994).[1]
