Britain After Empire: Constructing a Post-War Political-Cultural Project

Autor P. Preston
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 ian 2014
Through compelling analysis of popular culture, high culture and elite designs in the years following the end of the Second World War, this book explores how Britain and its people have come to terms with the loss of prestige stemming from the decline of the British Empire. The result is a volume that offers new ideas on what it is to be 'British'.

Recenzii

'This is a book that should be read by anyone interested in contemporary Britain. It traces developments in post-war Britain in the context of the end of Empire, but does so in a different way which focuses upon the role of ideas/narratives reflected in government designs, high arts and popular culture. It is challenging, but always interesting; even where the reader might disagree.'
- David Marsh, Director of Research, ANZSOG Institute for Governance, University of Canberra, Australia
