Book review: fundamental British values in education: radicalisation, national identity and Britishness by Lynn Revell and Hazel Bryan

In Fundamental British Values in Education: Radicalisation, National Identity and Britishness, Lynn Revell and Hazel Bryan explore an area in which particular conceptions of Britishness have been promoted: namely, the education system. Focusing particularly on the role of schools in counter-terrorism policy, this well-researched study shows how government influence has extended from defining British values to active interference with the school system, writes Benjamin Law.
