Out of Place: Englishness, Empire, and the Locations of Identity
Ian Baucom
In a 1968 speech on British immigration policy, Enoch Powell insisted that although a black man may be a British citizen, he can never be an Englishman. This book explains why such a claim was possible to advance and impossible to defend. It reveals how 'Englishness' emerged against the institutions and experiences of the British Empire.
