During the past decade, the cultural restorationist wing of the New Right has sought to impose its own anachronistic and sentimental conception of 'British culture' on schools and colleges. This conception, which is little more than a glib celebration of quintessential 'Englishness', characterises the national culture in largely monolithic and ethnically undifferen-tiated terms. Concerned about the possible pernicious effects of educational policies inspired by such thinking, we present the findings of a recently completed ethnographic study of 8-11 year-olds' conceptions of British national culture. Our paper considers the extent to which children's understanding of this complex form of collective identity may vary with age, and ethnicity. We conclude by exploring the implications of the findings for anti-racist and multicultural education. |
