      title = {Private property and the origins of nationalism in the  United States and Norway : the making of propertied  communities /},
      abstract = {In the eighteenth century, before a national political  movement took hold in either the United States or Norway,  both countries were agrarian societies marked by widespread  private land ownership. Tracing the emergence and  development of national ideology in each, Eirik Magnus  Fuglestad argues that land ownership became tied up with  these national ideologies and was ultimately a central  driver of nationalism. In this book, the United States and  Norway emerge as propertied communities, shaped by  historical narratives of self-government and by property  regimes that linked popular sovereignty with land  ownership. Covering the mid-eighteenth century through  industrialization in the nineteenth century, this book lays  the groundwork for understanding the rise of nationalism as  an agrarian, landed phenomenon, which later became the  foundation of industrial society.},
