Omschrijving
How England's political cultures are being eroded by neoliberalism
'This is a hugely ambitious and seriously rewarding genealogy of Britishness. Navigating the East India Company and Brexit, conservatism and liberalism, Gramsci and Stuart Hall, Mike Wayne has produced a fantastic analysis of the contradictions of our political culture'
'Wayne's excellent book delivers home truths and important historical lessons with authority, clarity and conviction. Its call for a radical version of social democracy is both convincing and energising. Anyone seeking the sign-posts for social change should read this'
'In the aftermath of Brexit, Mike Wayne's provocative re-reading of the tangled historical relations between Britain's contesting political cultures forces us to think again about the exercise of power, the imagination of nationhood and the possibilities for change'
'Provides a valuable analysis of how Britain is ruled and the ideology and culture of its elite'
'An exploration of English national identity that provides a highly effective insight towards understanding the politucal terrain of post-Brexit Britain'
Mike Wayne is Professor of Film and Television Studies at Brunel University, London. He is the author of England's Discontents: History, Politics, Culture and Identities (Pluto, 2018), Understanding Film (Pluto, 2005) and Marxism and Media Studies (Pluto, 2003).
