Englishness, Pop and Post-War Britain - Kallioniemi, Kari (University of Turku)

English pop music served a key role in defining, constructing and challenging various ideas about Englishness after World War II. Kallioniemi covers a range of styles of pop as he explores the question of how various artists, genres and pieces of music contributed to the developing understanding of who and what was English in the postwar years.
