The Invention of Tradition is an anthology of articles that focus on the theory underlying the concept of invented traditions and examples of them in a number of historical contexts. The chapters have a number of authors, all writing from a Marxist or postcolonial perspective. Each chapter contains a number of sections that give the chapters a smooth, logical and argumentative structure. Some chapters trade off sections that cover theoretical matters and those that give practical, historical illustrations.
