Brit-Myth by Chris Rojek
Is Britain really perceived as a nation of poorly dressed, roast-beef-eating, snaggle-toothed xenophobes? Or do the British perhaps all live in stately homes, and lead supercilious, emotionally repressed, tea-drinking lives? This title probes these and other myths, conceptions and misconceptions of Britishness.
.. the sheer catholicism of its sources is thought-provoking, allowing the reader to engage with the multitudinous facets that are involved in the construction of national identity ... a lively contribution on an urgent issue. ranges expertly and entertainingly over the fields of politics, history, and high and popular culture. The Daily Yomiuri
