Neo-localism - rediscovering the nation

Liam Booth-Smith explains why Localis’s essay collection reasserts the value of place in connecting and binding people to their communities – and ultimately the nation.

Since the outcome of Theresa May's June gamble, questions of identity and national renewal have assumed still greater importance – fermented as they are in the all-consuming cauldron of Brexit.
