Subject: Benedict Anderson




Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions on the matter of Anderson 
critiques. Here is the list I have compiled thus far, along with 
comments made on any sources. If there are any further suggestions, 
please post them on the list, since this is clearly a subject of 
interest to many!

Thanks again,

Jane Winston
