Thompson in the provinces -- Raymond Williams's love of country -- Stuart Hall's identities -- Perry Anderson against the national culture -- Tom Nairn on hating Britain properly.In The New Left, National Identity, and the Break-Up of Britain Wade Matthews charts the nexus between socialism and national identity in the work of key New Left intellectuals, E.P. Thompson, Raymond Williams, Stuart Hall, Perry Anderson, and Tom Nairn. Matthews considers these New Left thinkers’ response to Britain’s various national questions, including decolonization and the End of Empire, the rise of European integration and separatist nationalisms in Scotland and Wales, and to the national and nationalist implications of Thatcherism, Cold War and the fall of communism. Matthews establishes a contestatory dialogue around these issues throughout the book based around different New Left perspectives on what has been called “the break-up of Britain.” He demonstrates that national questions where crucial to New Left debates.Historical materialism book series ;51.New LeftGreat BritainSocialismGreat BritainNational characteristics, BritishNationalismGreat BritainGreat BritainPolitics and government20th centuryNew LeftSocialismNational characteristics, British.Nationalism320.53/10941Matthews Wade1975-1648968MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823919203321The new Left, national identity, and the break-up of Britain3997435UNINA
