Description

Understanding National Identity by David McCrone and Frank Bechhofer This book explores the concept of national identity in England and Scotland, examining how it differs from nationality and passport status. Using data collected over twenty years, the authors investigate whether national identity has substance or is simply a means of defending group boundaries. The study delves into the complexities of national identity, including its relationship to politics and constitutional change. The authors also explore how claims to national identity are accepted or rejected by others, and what basis these decisions are based on. By shedding light on this often-debated topic, McCrone and Bechhofer provide a nuanced understanding of national identity in the UK. Through their research, the authors aim to contribute to a deeper understanding of this complex issue, one that has significant implications for our understanding of politics, society, and culture.
