Harry Goulbourne's theme is how post-imperial Britain has come to
define the national community in terms of ethnic affinity, instead
of a traditional multi-ethnic/multi-racial understanding of the
nation. He argues that the continuing 'reception-experience' of
non-white groups in post-war Britain not only arose out of an
ethnic perception of the British nation by the indigenous
population, as expressed through state action, but has also, in
turn, encouraged an equally ethnic awakening or mobilisation among
non-white minorities. The result is a failure to construct a common
national ground or sense of community by all those claiming a
formal British identity. Goulbourne draws upon a diverse
literature, including race relations, politics and history. His two
case studies of the Khalistan question in the Punjab and democracy
in Guyana are examples of how exilic politics may affect Britain's
ethnic minorities, partly as a result of the experience of
exclusion from British society.
