The non-recognition of England reflects a longstanding assumption of 'unionist statecraft' that to draw a distinction between what is English and what is British risks destabilising the union state. The book examines evidence that this conflation of England and Britain is growing harder to sustain, in light of increasing political divergence between the nations of the UK and the awakening of English national identity. These trends were reflected in the 2016 vote to leave the European Union, driven predominantly by English voters (outside London). Brexit was motivated in part by a desire to restore the primacy of the Westminster Parliament, but there are countervailing pressures for England to gain its own representative institutions, and for devolution to England's cities and regions. The book presents competing interpretations of the state of English nationhood, examining the views that little of significance has changed, that Englishness has been captured by populist nationalism, and that a more progressive, inclusive Englishness is struggling to emerge. We conclude that England's national consciousness remains fragmented due to deep cleavages in its political culture, and the absence of a reflective national conversation about England's identity and relationship with the rest of the UK and the wider world. Brexit was a (largely) English revolt, tapping into unease about England's place within two intersecting Unions (British and European), but it is easier to identify what the nation spoke against than what it voted for. 650 0 $a Nationalism $z England. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Nationalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033832 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 650 7 $a Partei $2 gnd 650 7 $a Regierung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politische IdentitaÂt $2 gnd 650 7 $a Nationalismus $2 gnd 651 7 $a England $2 gnd 651 7 $a Gro©britannien $2 gnd 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 700 1 $a Kenny, Michael, $e editor. 700 1 $a McLean, Iain, $e editor. 700 1 $a Paun, Akash, $e editor. 710 2 $a British Academy, $e issuing body. 830 0 $a Proceedings of the British Academy ; $v 217. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017014718.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DFA260DA0C2C11EAA2E5F95597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
