For British Americans
The Identity Between the Empire and the Ordinary
Name both your inheritance and your ordinary self.
For the British American person working through what it means to carry British identity — its assimilation into American whiteness, its colonial history, and what remains of distinctly British culture — in American life
The Name It First Experience
British Americans may be the most assimilated immigrant group in America — the shared language, the cultural proximity, the way British identity folded into American whiteness across generations. What remains of distinctly British identity — the class system, the reserve, the tea and irony, the colonial history — is worth naming. So is the question of what that inheritance asks of you. This workbook is about naming what British American means to you. You leave with The British American Identity Map — a named account of who you are.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What does it mean to be British American — between an empire and the ordinary person you are?
- What does British identity mean to you personally — the culture, what has assimilated, what remains?
- What do you want to understand about your British heritage that you haven't fully examined yet?
