Merseypride: Essays in Liverpool Exceptionalism

by John Belchem - £19.99  Liverpool University Press (2006)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781846310102 | ISBN 10: 1846310105

Liverpool stands outside the main narrative frameworks of modern British history, located as it is at the intersection of competing cultural, economic and geo-political formations. Repudiated by some as as an external imposition, an unmerited stigma originating from the days of the slave trade or the Irish famine.
Liverpool's 'otherness' has been upheld (and inflated) in self-reverential myth, a 'Merseypride' that has shown considerable ingenuity in adjusting to the city's changing fortunes. The response to the city's selection as European Capital of Culture for 2008 displayed dramatically Liverpool's outsider status as a place that inspires love or lothing, but rarely indifference.
 
With a new introduction that takes account of the extraordinary renaissance that Liverpool is currently enjoying, the second edition of this collection by one of the leading scholars of the city's history offers a timely and perceptive examination of the origins and persistence of Liverpool's exceptionalism.
