Overview
Thematically approached, this book examines the forces that have contributed to a sense of Britishness, and how this has been mediated by other identities such as class, gender, region, ethnicity and the sense of belonging to the UK and Ireland.Synopsis
What does it mean to be British? It is now recognized that being British is not innate, static or permanent, but that national identities within Britain are constantly constructed and reconstructed. Britishness since 1870 examines this definition and redefinition of the British national identity since the 1870s.
