Full Description

In this key title, Wade Matthews charts the nexus between socialism and national identity in the work of key New Left intellectuals such as E.P. Thompson, Raymond Williams, Stuart Hall, Perry Anderson and Tom Nairn. Matthews considers these New Left thinkers' response to Britain's various national questions, including decolonisation and the End of Empire; the rise of European integration and separatist nationalisms in Scotland and Wales; and to the national and nationalist implications of Thatcherism, The Cold War and the fall of communism.
