Guest Editors: Bill Schwarz and Phil Cohen
Debates about ethnicity - including the ethnicity of the English - are some of the most exciting areas of discussion in British intellectual life today. The contributors aim to reflect the changing identifications people make when faced with the constant shiftings of the contemporary world, which can place one group's frontline in another's backyard. They argue the need for the bringing together of disparate voices working in different idioms. Frontlines - Backyards is a step in that direction.
