Heritage / Edmund Cusick and Mike Storry."British Cultural Identities assesses the degree to which being British impinges on the identity of the many people who live in Britain, analysing contemporary British identity through the various and changing ways in which people who live in the UK position themselves and are positioned by their culture today. This new edition is fully updated to include discussion of key events and societal shifts such as the 2015 British general election, the growing emphasis on devolution, the 2012 Olympic Games, the new generation of royals, UKIP and the Euro crisis, the response to fundamentalism and the proliferation of social networking. Using examples from contemporary and popular culture, chapters cover a range of intersecting themes including: place and environment, education, work and leisure, gender, sex and the family, youth culture and style, class and politics, ethnicity and language, religion, heritage. Accessible in style, illustrated with photographs, tables and timelines and containing discussion questions, cultural examples and suggestions for further resources at the end of each chapter, British Cultural Identities is the perfect introductory text for students of contemporary British society"--Provided by publisher.National characteristics, BritishPopular cultureGreat BritainGreat BritainCivilization1945-Great BritainSocial life and customs1945-Great BritainSocial conditions1945-Electronic books.National characteristics, British.Popular culture941.086Childs Peter1962-165610Storry Mike1943-1172666MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910153187103321British cultural identities2801453UNINA
