Description
Britain in Fragments: Why Things Are Falling Apart Satnam Virdee and Brendan McGeever explore how the historic pillars sustaining Britain's democratic settlement have begun to crumble. This analysis traces the roots of the country's current fragmentation, from imperial expansion abroad to working-class struggles at home. Growing demands for nationalist secessionism, such as Brexit and Scottish independence, are eroding the integrity of the British state. Meanwhile, deepening class, gender, regional, and generational inequalities, along with a resurgence of endemic racism, have created a complex web of social tensions. By examining these factors, Britain in Fragments offers a compelling story of where Britain is today, how it got there, and what may yet be possible to change its course.
