The retreat
of the state: the 1980s-1990s' |
| Abstract
of the Book |
| Written
by leading international scholars, Twentieth
Century Britain investigates key moments,
themes and identities in the past century.
Engaging with cutting-edge research and debate,
the essays in the volume combine discussion
of the major issues currently preoccupying
historians of the twentieth century with clear
guidance on new directions in the theories
and methodologies of modern British social,
cultural and economic history. Divided into
three, the first section of the book addresses
key concepts historians use to think about
the century, notably, class, gender and national
identity. Organised chronologically, the book
then explores topical thematic issues, such
as multicultural Britain, religion and citizenship.
Representing changes in the field, some chapters
represent more recent fields of historical
inquiry, such as modernity and sexuality.
