The British Labour Party has at times been a force for radical
change in the UK, but one critical aspect of its makeup has been
consistently misunderstood and underplayed: its Britishness.
Throughout the party's history, its Britishness has been an
integral part of how it has done politics, acted in government and
opposition, and understood the UK and its nations and regions. The
People's Flag and the Union Jack is the first comprehensive account
of how Labour has tried to understand Britain and Britishness and
to compete in a political landscape defined by conservative notions
of nation, patriotism and tradition. At a time when many of the
party faithful regard national identity as a toxic subject,
academics Gerry Hassan and Eric Shaw argue that Labour's
Britishness and its ambiguous relationship with issues of
nationalism matter more today than ever before, and will continue
to matter for the foreseeable future, when the UK is in fundamental
crisis. As debate rages about Brexit, and the prospect of Scottish
independence remains live, this timely intervention, featuring
contributions from a wealth of pioneering thinkers, offers an
illuminating and perceptive insight into Labour's past, present and
future.
