Britishness Abroad Transnational Movements and Imperial Cultures Book

Britishness Abroad Transnational Movements and Imperial Cultures Book

As a global phenomenon Britishness encompassed trade, conquest and settlement and the development of imperial cultures within the vast reaches of the British Empire. At its zenith peoples around the world joined in shared traditions and common loyalties that were strenuously maintained; even those who contested its claims found it difficult to escape its effects. With the eclipse of British power and influence, the importance of this legacy has attracted increasing attention from researchers seeking to escape the confines of national histories.Britishness Abroad explores the cultural, economic and political aspects of Britishness in Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, Canada and South Africa, as well as in the United States and within Britain itself. Leading scholars consider the movement of people, money, technology, identities, beliefs and attitudes around the British world and examine what happened to Britishness as the Empire declined. Contributors: Stephen Banfield, Kate Darian-Smith, Anne Dickson-Waiko, Patricia Grimshaw, David Goodman, Jonathan Hyslop, John MacKenzie, Gary Magee & Andrew Thompson, Adele Perry, Bill Schwarz, Stuart Ward.

Independent Publishers Group: British books on British culture, places and food with Character, Curated for You

Independent Publishers Group has earned affection for books on British culture, places and food that bring a distinctly British or Irish note to daily life. These are pieces chosen for use as much as display, with texture, colour and practical detail doing most of the talking.

The Heritage of Independent Publishers Group
Built over generations, the reputation of Independent Publishers Group rests on consistency and a recognisable design language. Styles have shifted over time, yet the underlying idea remains: make useful things with enough character to become familiar favourites. That approach still feels relevant.

Signature Pieces from the Range
Featured in the curated range at Best of British NBPT, the A Short History of British Architecture brings the brand’s point of view into focus. A Short History of British Architecture has tactile, gift-ready appeal, while the The Jane Austen Files offers a second expression of the same character—something to hold, wear, pour from or place where it can be enjoyed often. Both are carefully selected for quality and style; Best of British NBPT does not make or design them.

Why Independent Publishers Group Resonates with Shoppers
There is warmth in choosing Independent Publishers Group: the books on British culture, places and food feel connected to craft, place and everyday ritual. They suit milestone gifts, small thank-yous and personal treats without needing a grand occasion. Picture a bookshop afternoon followed by tea, and the attraction becomes quite clear.
