Contributors consider possibilities for active citizenship within areas of broad concern in U.K. politics: young people and justice; parliaments; women and equality; immigration; multiculturalism; schools; community; social inclusion and poverty; Europe; nationalisms; and Britishness. Each chapter considers the social and political consequences of a U.K. citizen culture and how this reality could be achieved.
