Down with the royals

Edición de la obra Down with the royals

Provocations is a groundbreaking new series of short polemics composed by some of the most intriguing voices in contemporary culture. Never less than sharp, intelligent and controversial Provocations is a major new contribution to some of the most vital discussions in society today. After Diana, there seemed some hope that this country would finally grow up and get rid of the monarchy, the symbol of inequality and privilege. But the royals have been smart and were able to cleverly re-establish themselves. Now with William, Kate and their babies, it has become almost treasonable to argue for an elected head of state. That is exactly why it must be done, according to Joan Smith.
