Description: How did Britain cease to be global? In Untied Kingdom Stuart Ward tells the panoramic history of the end of Britain tracing the ways in which Britishness has been imagined experienced disputed and ultimately discarded across the globe since the end of the Second World War. From Indian independence West Indian immigration and African decolonization to the Suez Crisis and the Falklands War he uncovers the demise of Britishness as a global civic idea and its impact on communities across the globe. He also shows the consequences of this diminished 'global reach in Britain itself from the Troubles in Northern Ireland to resurgent Englishness and the startling success of separatist political agendas in Scotland and Wales. Untied Kingdom puts the contemporary travails of the Union for the first time in their full global perspective as part of the much larger story of the progressive rollback of Britain's imaginative frontiers.
