註釋
When The Whos Pete Townshend donned a union jack jacket in the 1960s, it was a satirical statement from a young English reactionary railing against an Establishment soaked in an archaic notion of Britishness. Now, Townshend has become part of the establishment. Kevin Davey's book looks at several similar examples of the changing nature of 20th century British identity, and identifies the problems facing modernizers hampered by traditional nationalism, which fails to engage with the complexities of contemporary culture.
