Defining British Citizenship

Empire, Commonwealth and Modern Britain

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Unlike many nations Britain had not developed a national citizenship by the 20th century. Instead belonging in Britain was merely a function of allegiance to the Crown. This lack of definition was seen as beneficial. This title explores the implications of such vagueness as a new millennium begins.
