Description
Pat Thane's comprehensive survey of Britain's history since 1900 offers a nuanced exploration of the country's evolution into its current form.
The author challenges conventional interpretations of Britain's past, examining key themes such as nationalisms, the welfare state, economic success and failure, imperial decline, and the UK's relationship with Europe.
This clear and detailed account highlights changing living standards and expectations, inequalities of class, income, wealth, race, gender, sexuality, religion, and place, revealing how contemporary society was formed and its ongoing divisions and inequalities.
