Film, Drama and the Break Up of Britain

"Film, Drama and the Break-Up of Britain engages with ideas that are highly topical such as: nationalism, nationhood and national identity, and examines the relationship of these to post-colonialism in the context of a radically changing Britain since devolution. It does so through a wide ranging examination of film and theatre in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in the decade since the election of a Labour government in 1997, a time when not only devolution itself, but a wide range of powerful influences were re-constructing our sense of national identity."--Jacket.
