Synopsis

The term "culture wars" has taken centre stage in British social and political discourse, characterized by deep divides over values, identity, and sovereignty. These conflicts, driven by class and emancipatory struggles, continue to evolve, highlighting critical divisions over issues such as Brexit, Scottish independence, and attitudes toward the monarchy.

Nick Hubble reframes the debate, demonstrating how British culture wars are both unique and interconnected with broader global trends. They explore how cultural divisions shaped British society over the past century, challenging the pervasive narrative of British exceptionalism. Drawing on sources like the British Social Attitudes surveys, political studies, and even literary works such as those by George Orwell, the book traces the legacy of social liberalization and the authoritarian counter-revolution that has emerged in response. With clarity and nuance, Hubble unpacks the ideological dynamics behind terms like "identity politics" and "woke liberalism," offering a fresh framework for understanding the realities of cultural conflict in Britain today.
