British Cultural Studies includes over thirty essays written by expert contributors, covering almost every aspect of culture and identity in Britain today and addressing the current transformations of British culture and identity in the context of globalization. First dealing with different conceptions of Britishness and identity, the volume goes on to analyze the interplay between tradition and heritage in contemporary culture, and to look at the world of lifestyle groups and subcultures.
