As a half-Indian, Irish Catholic child of the NHS, the chequered history of post-imperial Britain seemed very personal to him, but he realised that with that background he could hardly be anything but British, and proud of it too.\u003c\/p\u003e          \u003cp\u003eHis timely and clear-eyed analysis seeks to navigate the many crises of this increasingly disunited kingdom: extremism and integration after 7\/7; fear of immigration and the deep divides of Brexit; the resurgence of online racism; and the debate over our cultural heritage. Equipped with a nuanced understanding of the subject and a wealth of supporting data, he sets out to foster a more open and tolerant society: one that welcomes alternative ideas and cultures rather than shutting them out.\u003c\/p\u003e          \u003cp\u003eUltimately, \u003cem\u003eHow to be a Patriot\u003c\/em\u003e is a rousing story of lives lived together and shared values. Far from being divisive, it concludes, an inclusive and confident patriotism is a reminder that our differences need not define us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41527118332001,"sku":"9780008553890","price":8.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_29608227_79866e7f-89c7-488d-9791-0c9aa29649db.jpg?v=1747898175","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780008553890-how-to-be-a-patriot-why-love-of-country-can-end-our-very-british-culture-war","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
