Imagining Home

A powerful examination of ideas and images of home in Britain during a period of national decline and loss of imperial power. Its focus on the complex interrelationships of white and black women's lives and identities offers a compelling new perspective on this period. Includes a new Preface by the author.

Wendy Webster is Professor of History at the Centre for History, Culture and Memory, University of Huddersfield, UK.
