Out of Place by Ian Baucom
In a 1968 speech on British immigration policy, Enoch Powell insisted that although a black man may be a British citizen, he can never be an Englishman. This book explains why such a claim was possible to advance and impossible to defend. It reveals how 'Englishness' emerged against the institutions and experiences of the British Empire.
Honorable Mention for the 2000 First Book Prize of the Modern Language Association "Out of Place is an impressive volume, ambitious in its scope, sophisticated in its argument, and elegant in its execution"--Ranu Samantrai, MLR: Modern Language Review
