Racial tensions and the imperial mindset continue to dominate Britain's relationship with itself and the world. From the simplistic moral equation of Band Aid to the invasion of Iraq, in the tragedy of Stephen Lawrence and the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics, we see how the UK both resists and embraces multiculturalism. This book tells a story of immigration and fractured identity, of social strife and communal solidarity, of people on the move and of a people wrestling with their past. It is the story that best explains Britain today.
