Summary / Abstract (Note) | English national identities are frequently viewed as becoming problematic since the major transformations in the relations between the nations within and beyond Britain. Recent research suggests forms of national attachment and detachment have different degrees of salience among ordinary people in England than within elite circles. This article explores and extends this assertion through the qualitative study of the accounts of English migrants in New Zealand. Research findings confirm that the presence or absence of national identifications are closely related to everyday lives but show how experiences of migration are translated into sentiments in distinctive and diverse ways. |
