In this topic about Great Britain, we will take a closer look at Britain, the British empire and British identity with focus on different shapes of diversity, such as class, race and cultural background. One focus point is the experience of Caribbean immigrants coming home to Britain, the mother country, to work. We will look at how this is expressed in literature with focus on the so-called ‘hostile environment’ campaign and the Windrush scandal (2018).
Another focus point is the contrast between social classes in Britain and the power celebrities hold, in Britain.
Finally we have looked into how English became a global language, and is a lingua franca today and how dialects/sociolects seem to matter in the UK because it is perceived as a marker of social class.
