We look at how British culture and identity have historically been used by Kiwi and other Commonwealth marketers and advertisers to sell products abroad. Felicity Barnes is a senior lecturer in history at Waipapa Taumata Rau, the University of Auckland. She has researched how advertisers between the first and second world wars constructed a shared British identity in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. What she's found is outlined in her new book Selling Britishness: Commodity Culture, the Dominions and Empire. During the inter-war period New Zealand, Australia and Canada, filled British shop windows, newspaper columns, and cinema screens with "British to the core" Canadian apples, "British to the backbone" New Zealand lamb, and "All British" Australian butter. Felicity Barnes says a thread running through the marketing was selling a Dominion-styled British identity. Some international advertising campaigns featured touring sports-people and politicians championing the products of their home countries to British shoppers. And from 1934, here is Australian test cricket captain Bill Woodfull's appeal for Empire buying, talking about being part of one big British family.

A personal and candid conversation with Britain's most provocative historian in which he speaks about his early life, influences and career, and the journey that brought him to our screens. Calling the Henry VIII's break with Rome the "other Brexit", Starkey compare and contrasts Theresa May's negotiations with the EU and Henry VIII's negotiations with the Pope. His verdict is not one the P.M. would wish to hear. Moving on to English identity, we learn why the Tudors dominate England's cultural landscape -- particularly Henry VIII and Elizabeth I -- and why the British Empire is unique in having transformed its colonies/dominions into self-governing, sovereign nations. From landmark documentary series to political panel shows, David Starkey, once dubbed "the Rudest Man in Britain", never fails to make compelling television. Here, however, is an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of an important contributor to contemporary cultural discourse. .

We’ve all heard the news. Since last year’s referendum, the UK has become a more hostile environment for people from ethnic minority backgrounds, with the number of hate crimes soaring by 41 per cent. Of course, there are various levels and nuances to this story so for today’s episode we are taking a deep dive into the issue with help from Priya Minhas, a co-author of the Opinium Multicultural Britain report, as well as Adam Drummond, Opinium’s senior research manager. We discuss whether white Briton’s too are aware of this increase in racially motivated attacks, how well integrated the UK is and how this is perceived differently by different social groups, and whether long-term trends of immigrant communities moving to the countryside will have a positive effect on integration going forward. Apologies for the poor audio quality today. We had a few technical issues while recording but thought you guys would still like to hear this episode. We will be back with your regularly scheduled, clearly audible episode on Thursday. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #Opinium #Multiculturalism #Integration #Racism #Discrimination #PriyaMinhas #AdamDrummond #immigration #immigrants

Britain was one of the most prolific nation of slavers, and yet we tend to elide this from our histories. Dr Pettigrew considers British slavery within our history and as a part of the global history of slavery:http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/how-to-place-slavery-into-british-identityThis lecture will revisit the determinants of British identity by examining the problem of slavery in British history from Roman times to the present day. Freedom and slavery provide the compass points for much of the British story but the causes, experiences, and legacies of slavery have not been fully integrated into British consciousness. An analysis of the economic, political, intellectual, and constitutional meanings of slavery in British history can suggest means to integrate slavery constructively into the story of Britain.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College Website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/how-to-place-slavery-into-british-identityGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
