Which People's War?: National Identity and Citizenship in Wartime Britain 1939-1945

by Sonya O. Rose

Book Overview

What did it mean to be British during the 'People's War'? Professor Rose uses material from newspapers, diaries, novels and letters to examine popular notions of citizenship on the home front. She shows that what we now mean by 'identity politics' was alive and well in the 1940s and that any
singular conception of 'Britishness' was extremely fragile.
