SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Against the background of an increasingly diverse British society, this book traces the evolution of British identity in the twentieth century. It raises fundamental questions about who we are as a nation and how we got here, and provides clues as to the direction the prevailing public discourse on British identity is likely to take in the twenty-first century.
