Imagining Home offers a unique examination of ideas and images of
home in Britain during a period of national decline and loss of
imperial power. In exploring the relationship between gender,
'race' and national identity, it higlights the continuing
importance of empire in imaginings of the nation during a period of
decolonization. Analyzing the significance of colonialism and
racism in shaping ideas of motherhood, employment and domestictiy,
it traces the process by which Englishness was increasingly
associated with domestic order, and the home and family constructed
as white.
Drawing extensively on oral history and life-writing, Imagining
Home examines the multiple meanings of home to women in narratives
of beloning and unbelonging. Its focus on the complex
interrelationships of white and black women's lives and identities
offers a new perspective on this period.
