- Abstract
The paper Imperial Ideology and British Nationalism in the XIX and XX centuries deals with the phenomenon of Britishness as a form of national identity in a context of British Empire. The authors argue that arising and functioning of the Empire became the most essential factor that affected the ethnic groups of Great Britain in the processes of the XIX century nation-building in counterbalance to ethnocultural identities. Collapse of the Empire resulted in deactualization of Britishness and return to the previous identities. Simultaneously, the British identity appeared to be rather productive for the self-identification of the newcomers. Thus, Britishness has got extra senses related to distinct racial and cultural differentiation of the British society.
