Imagined Communities by Benedict Anderson was a mediocre book. The writing was very dry, but the historical content is interesting. It is about the history of nationalism, and the effects that it had on the world today.
I think that this book is extremely relevant to AP World, because it takes the idea of a nation and shows how it came to be, and how differently it evolved throughout the world. Its themes correlate to the AP World class, but I would only suggest this book to a very dedicated and perseverant reader, because the material is tough to handle, and often repetitive.
