I don't think that Woods and Davis are correct on this issue. Obviously, nationalism is very important today, but historically it emerged as a modern, antitraditional phenomenon. Ethnic loyalty, on the other hand, predates history itself, and served as the premodern, but also more cohesive, basis for modern nationalism.
