How did Britain cease to be global? In Untied Kingdom, Stuart Ward
tells the panoramic history of the end of Britain, tracing the ways
in which Britishness has been imagined, experienced, disputed and
ultimately discarded across the globe since the end of the Second
World War. From Indian independence, West Indian immigration and
African decolonization to the Suez Crisis and the Falklands War, he
uncovers the demise of Britishness as a global civic idea and its
impact on communities across the globe. He also shows the
consequences of this diminished 'global reach' in Britain itself,
from the Troubles in Northern Ireland to resurgent Englishness and
the startling success of separatist political agendas in Scotland
and Wales. Untied Kingdom puts the contemporary travails of the
Union for the first time in their full global perspective as part
of the much larger story of the progressive rollback of Britain's
imaginative frontiers.
