Contents Introduction -- English language colonisation, de-colonisation, and globalisation -- Ethnic linguistic minorities -- 1900s-1950s: a discourse of laissez-faire, preserving the status quo -- 1960s-1980s: a discourse of multiculturalism, living with difference -- 1990s-2000s: a discourse of integration, sharing common values -- Contemporary British identity, over a hundred years in the making.
Summary 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.
