Watching the English: The Hidden Rules of English Behaviour by Kate Fox
5.0
Fox is a fascinating writer and blends a healthy dose of humour, whit, and irony (as a good Brit) with thorough research and fascinating findings.
Her quest in the book, as an anthropologist, is to uncover the essence of what it means to be English.
With the ever-increasing cultures and ethnicities on this island, many think the task of defining “Englishness” impossible. And while it is true that Britain is increasingly changing under the effects of globalism within its shores, Fox still finds many commonalities between the classes, cultures, and generations that make up the heartbeat of Englishness.
