HISTORY AND ETHNIC RELATIONS OF ENGLAND
2009-01-06 01:27
Emergence of the Nation. The emergence of the nation took place between 1200 and 1850. The first period when a quasi-national feeling was able to unify the people was the Hundred Years’ War with France in the late Middle Ages (1337–1453). Although a dynastic conflict between successive english and french monarchs, this war became a cause in which Anglo-Saxon and Norman culture merged into a recognizably english culture. In the sixteenth century, nationalism took on another component: anti-Catholicism. Henry VI created the Church of England by tapping into popular sentiment against the Pope’s interference in national affairs. Elizabeth I, his daughter, created a sense of national unity through the conflicts she orchestrated with Catholic Spain. Another manifestation of anti-Catholic sentiment was the Battle of the Boyne in 1689, where William I routed Catholic opposition in Ireland. William subsequently affirmed Catholicism as being contrary to english and Irish law. Beginning with Scotland and Ireland in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and continuing with competitions with the Spanish, the Dutch, and the french between 1550 and 1816, the english established a sense of expansionary patriotism. The final step in creating a national sentiment was taken in the seventeenth and eighteenth centu- ries when the middle classes defined Englishness as a positive morality to which everyone could subscribe. National Identity. english cultural roots lie in a merging of Anglo-Saxon, Danish, and Norman french culture that has existed as a synthesis since the late Middle Ages. A process of negotiation was at the heart of this cultural creation. Ethnic Relations. After stripping them of their assets, Edward I expelled the Jewish community in 1290, and Jews did not receive full rights and recognition until the twentieth century. The earliest guest workers, Flemish clothworkers, frequently found their contributions resented by ‘‘native’’ labor. German, French, and Low Countries Protestant refugees in the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries were confronted with ethnic prejudices. The Irish as Celts and Catholics and the Welsh and Scots as Celts also have faced resentment, especially in eras dominated by english nationalism and British imperialism. In the British Isles and abroad, the english record in colonized areas is no better than that of other European colonizing cultures. Beginning in the 1960s with the Immigration Acts and reaching a low point with the 1981 British Nationality Act, laws have been passed to restrict the rights of for- eigners to enter the country and obtain citizenship and benefits. The support of Margaret Thatcher’s Government for free-market capitalism contributed to the decline of the areas where most ethnic minorities lived, sparking violent protests in the 1980s, such as London’s Brixton riots in 1981. Antiracism legislation and the improving economy have lessened public and official attention to the nonwhite population. However, economic migrants and political refugees, chiefly from East Asia, eastern Europe, and Africa, have taken the place of the non-white populace as objects of public concern. More...
