After twenty-five years police service on urban Tyneside, the
author-a social anthropologist-transferred, on promotion as
Superintendent, to West Mercia Constabulary. The arrival of this
'import' coincided with monetarist demands for efficiency and
effectiveness, a political thrust which came hard up against rural
ideas of hierarchy, paternalism, and a cultural belief that denied
validity to outsiders - such as those in the adjacent West Midlands
Police. Detailing the way West Mercia operated and justified some
bizarre practices, the ethnography shows how cultural identity was
defined and deployed on a daily basis and explores the diverse and
rich cultural baggage the rural world sustained even in the face of
intense calls for the management of change. Reflecting on the lack
of financial control he found, the author links all this to the
racism he observed-to a xenophobic means of maintaining social
boundaries, defending edgy environments and preserving a
semi-closed culture from the intrusions of outsiders.
