Britishness, Identity and Belonging in Education: Social Justice in Troubling Times

Hamed Shaw, Shereen

This book seeks to address the ways in which changing discourses of Britishness and British Values both impact upon young people in their education and are expressed by them growing up in multicultural Britain, a nation battling the consequences of Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic. The author considers the intersectional relationship between identity, citizenship and belonging, as well as the ways that politicisation of culture and faith affect young people’s sense of Britishness and belonging, particularly through policies such as the Prevent duty. It will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields of race and education, social justice and diversity, equity and inclusion.
