The regional organization of the BBC, and the news and creative programming designed specifically for regional listeners, reinforced the cultural and historical distinctiveness of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The BBC anticipated, and perhaps encouraged, the development of the hybrid \"dual identities\" characteristic of contemporary Britain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book will be of interest to scholars and students of nationalism and national identity, British imperialism, mass media and media history, and the \"four nations\" approach to British history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Hajkowski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 152611884X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526118844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Thomas Hajkowski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44522722885887,"sku":"9781526118844","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e724da9f-e6fc-4d27-9fb7-828962886e2c.jpg?v=1700158674","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bbc-and-national-identity-thomas-hajkowski-9781526118844","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
