A panoramic history of the end of Britain as a global civic idea from the Second World War to the present day. Stuart Ward uncovers the ways in which Britishness has been imagined, experienced and ultimately discarded as the British empire unravelled and the 'four nations' of the United Kingdom drew steadily apart.
How did Britain cease to be global? In Untied Kingdom, Stuart Ward tells the panoramic history of the end of Britain, tracing the ways in which Britishness has been imagined, experienced, disputed and ultimately discarded across the globe since the end of the Second World War. From Indian independence, West Indian immigration and African decolonization to the Suez Crisis and the Falklands War, he uncovers the demise of Britishness as a global civic idea and its impact on communities across the globe. He also shows the consequences of this diminished ''global reach'' in Britain itself, from the Troubles in Northern Ireland to resurgent Englishness and the startling success of separatist political agendas in Scotland and Wales. Untied Kingdom puts the contemporary travails of the Union for the first time in their full global perspective as part of the much larger story of the progressive rollback of Britain''s imaginative frontiers.
