British Cultural Identities

What does it mean to be British at the start of the new millennium?

British Cultural Identities analyses the various and constantly changing ways in which people who live in the UK position themselves and are positioned by their culture today. Each chapter covers one of the seven intersecting themes: places and peoples, education, work and leisure, gender, sex and the family, youth culture and style, class and politics, ethnicity and language, religion and heritage.
The second edition of this invaluable book brings it right up to date to cover such 'phenomena' as Posh and Becks, Jamie Oliver, Big Brother, the millennium dome and Harry Potter.
