'Beautifully written, brilliantly insightful' Owen Jones Tony Blair
and Noel Gallagher shaking hands at No. 10. Saatchi's YBAs setting
the international art world aflame. Geri Halliwell in a Union Jack
dress. A time of vibrancy and optimism: when the country was united
by the hope of a better and brighter future. So why, twenty years
on, did that future never happen? Richard Power Sayeed takes a
provocative look at this epochal year, arguing that the dark
undercurrents of that time had a much more enduring legacy than the
marketing gimmick of 'Cool Britannia'. He reveals how the handling
of the Stephen Lawrence inquiry ushered in a new type of racism.
How the feminism-lite of 'Girl Power' made sexism stronger. And how
the promises of New Labour left the country more fractured than
ever. This lively, rich and evocative book explores why 1997 was a
turning point for British culture and society - away from a fairer,
brighter future and on the path to our current malaise.
