"Frontiers of Identity: The British and the Others" Robin Cohen
Longmans, 1994
"This arresting and original analysis shows how the British as a people
are constantly defined and redefined through their interactions with
several 'frontiers of identy' , namely Celts, expatraits, Americans,
Europeans, citizens of the Commonwealth and more crucially with `aliens.'"
"...Drawing on a wealth of historical scholarchip, newly compilied
research and contemporary social theory, this bnook explains the unstated
assumptions and hidden meaning in the relationship between`the British'
and `the others'. It uncovers how the British and their rulers seek to
reshape their national identy in a difficult period of post -imperial
adjustment..
Remember, a short vita stating qualifications for reviewing this title is
needed. Thanks.
