| Abstract
|
:
|
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.
