A black book with white text. There is an American flag centered on the cover with bullets making up the flag. The white text reads - Nationalism as a Way of Life - The Rise and Transformation of Modern Subjectivities. The author’s name is on the bottom of the cover in white text - Siniša Malešević.

Well this was a timely publication by one of my former professors… we will see how far I can get given the current state of the world.
