Description
Things fall apart when empires crumble. This time, we think, things will be different. They are not. In this updated edition of Rule Britannia, Danny Dorling and Sally Tomlinson argue that the vote to leave the EU was the last gasp of the old empire working its way out of the British psyche. The result was driven by a misplaced nostalgia, a lack of knowledge of Britain's imperial history, and a profound anxiety about Britain's status today. Fuelled by a deeply unrealistic vision of the future, the Brexit vote marked a turning point in British history. The authors contend that Britain's future lies in reconciling itself to a new beginning, and that this could be an opportunity to carve out a new identity. This thought-provoking analysis offers a nuanced exploration of the Brexit vote and its implications for Britain's place in the world. By examining the complexities of the Brexit vote, Dorling and Tomlinson provide a timely and thought-provoking analysis of Britain's future.
