The Nations of Britain

The Nations of Britain offers an up-to-date analysis of contemporary Britain, drawing upon sociology, politics, history and cultural studies. Focusing on each national region individually and also on a set of themes that cut across regional boundaries, including identity, multiculturalism, economy, policy and civil society, this is a timely account of a rapidly-changing nation.
