In British Cultural Identities Mike Storry and Peter Childs assess the degree to which being British impinges on the identity of the many people who live in Britain. They analyse 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. Using examples from contemporary and popular culture, each chapter covers one of seven intersecting themes: place and environment education, work and leisure gender, sex and the family youth culture and style class and politics ethnicity and language religion and heritage. This new edition is fully updated to include environmental concerns, devolution, the infantilization of culture, binge-drinking, reality TV, 7/7 and terrorism, and the increasing shift from a literate to a visual culture.Storry, Michael is the author of 'British Cultural Identities' with ISBN 9780415424608 and ISBN 0415424607.
