Answer

No, "Imagined Communities" was not Anderson's debut work. His first major publication was a study of pre-Hispanic societies in Mesoamerica titled "Nahuatl Society and Culture: An Analytical Commentary." Published in 1971, this work showcased Anderson's early interest in the relationship between culture, power, and social organization, themes that would later be expanded upon in "Imagined Communities."
