Imagining Home

Exploring the interplay of gender, race, and national identity, this book delves into the concept of home in Britain amid national decline and decolonization. It highlights how imperial legacies influenced perceptions of motherhood, employment, and domesticity, ultimately linking Englishness to notions of domestic order. The text critically examines the racialization of home life, illustrating how the constructs of home and family became predominantly associated with whiteness during this transformative period.
