Abstract
The rise, or reemergence, of nationalist rhetoric in many parts of the world in recent years confronts academic historians with new questions and challenges. Historians may be temperamentally slow to respond to short-term political exigencies, but, as Pieter Judson highlights in his contribution to this AHR History Lab forum about the global history of nationalism, they are increasingly “required to serve at the forefront of efforts to revive a kind of militant nationalism.” Looking back on our discipline’s long-standing history as a purveyor of nationalist myths, Eric Hobsbawm once explained that “historians are to nationalism what poppy-growers in Pakistan are to heroin addicts: we supply the essential raw material for the market.”1 But are there more addicts today? If so, what does this entail for our poppy growing and for our fields at large? In the following short essays, twelve historians discuss these questions from the vantage point of their various areas of specialization.
