Anthony D. Smith byl emeritním profesorem nacionalismu a etnických studií na London School of Economics a je považován za jednoho ze zakladatelů mezioborového studia nacionalismu. Jeho nejvýznamnější přínosy v této oblasti zahrnují rozlišení mezi 'občanskými' a 'etnickými' typy národů a nacionalismu a myšlenku, že všechny národy mají dominantní 'etnická jádra'. Zatímco Smith souhlasil s jinými autory, že nacionalismus je moderní fenomén, trval na tom, že národy mají předmoderní původ.

Born and raised in Bronx, New York, Anthony Smith shares his painful life's tale about growing up in the Bronx that he compares to a jungle. With hopes of a new life in Pittsburgh, trouble and Anthony seemed to always meet each other. Yes, he made some bad decisions, but those decisions were made just to get ahead, to get a piece of redemption. After some time, Smith took a self-evaluation, and realized in order for him to have the redemption and the mental peace that he desires, he would have to make better decisions and surround himself with the people that are for him and not against him. After being falsely accused and wrongfully placed in jail, Smith was inspired by his pain and found the road to redemption. Smith hopes to reach everyone that reads his tale, not only for real legal assistance in vindicating his false imprisonment but to help those who can't help themselves.
