Drawing on ethnographic research at the British seaside, this book
offers an original and insightful anthropological contribution to
the study of contemporary Britain and nationalism. The volume
focuses on people who have retired from different parts of the UK
to the seaside town of Margate and nearby areas, exploring their
ethical negotiations and relationship with things that 'have
history'. It considers how residents engage daily with objects,
houses and places 'with character' and how such ordinary
engagements underlie nationalist sentiments and the Brexit vote.
Ana Carolina Balthazar demonstrates that those who have reached a
comfortable financial position often look for ways to reconnect
with their working-class upbringing and, while doing so, engage
with the national past in a very tangible manner. Contributing to
social scientific debates on class dynamics and ethics, the book
provides a different perspective on nationalist populism, one which
moves beyond media stereotypes and arguments made about the 'left
behind' and 'longing for empire' in 'post-industrial' Britain.
