MENUThe right have hijacked Englishness. Can it be reclaimed?
Join us as leading environmental campaigner and Britain's only Green MP Caroline Lucas, shares her new book - Another England - in conversation with Max Porter; a thought-provoking event that will delve deep into our national history and make a bid to reclaim Englishness from the Brexit cheerleaders for exceptionalism and imperial nostalgia.
She'll explore what England's progressive spirit can teach us about the most pressing issues of our time - Empire, constitutional reform and the climate emergency and shine a light on alternative stories, one that we can all embrace to build a greener, fairer future.
' In these timely, passionate and perceptive pages, Lucas – the most inspiring British politician of my lifetime – tells a new story about England and Englishness, and sets out the possibility for a progressive politics of land, place and nation. This is vital reading. -- ROBERT MACFARLANE, author of Underland and The Lost Words
