Abstract

It is rather rare for a scholar, even a prolific one, to publish two books in the same year. It is even more remark-
able when both books challenge the current
understanding of well-known concepts such as capital-
ism, empire, nationalism, and citizenship. Considering
his scholarly activity so far, it is not a great surprise,
though, that Frederick Cooper managed to do so. The
two books examined in this article are very different in
their scope and in their nature but they both have one
trait in common—they make us rethink well-established
ideas and offer us an alternative interpretation of these
same concepts.
