About this book

Analysing the events surrounding the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997, Vic Seidler considers the public outpourings of grief and displays of emotion which prompted new kinds of identification and belonging in which communities came together regardless of race, class, gender and sexuality.

Reviews

'A valuable addition to a range of sociological concerns which focus on cultural memory, the politics of emotion, and the changing face of nation-ness, citizenship and subjectivity.' - Suki Ali, London School of Economics, UK
