Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism
TL;DR: In this paper, Anderson examines the creation and global spread of the 'imagined communities' of nationality and explores the processes that created these communities: the territorialisation of religious faiths, the decline of antique kingship, the interaction between capitalism and print, the development of vernacular languages-of-state, and changing conceptions of time.
Book
The Spectre of Comparisons: Nationalism, Southeast Asia, and the World
TL;DR: In this paper, Anderson discusses how the Philippines is changed when it can no longer be seen through a comparison with European capitals, and how, more broadly, nationalism is produced by the process of increasing global connection.
Book
Language and Power: Exploring Political Cultures in Indonesia
TL;DR: In this paper, Anderson explores the cultural and political contradictions that have arisen from two critical facts in Indonesian history-that while the Indonesian nation is young, the Indonesian state is ancient, originating in the early seventeenth-century Dutch conquests; and that contemporary politics are conducted in a new language, Bahasa Indonesia, by peoples (especially the Javanese) whose cultures are rooted in medieval times.
