Advertisment

Isabel King is a famous British writer and painter. She is known for her work with the Nationality, Identity and Class. Isabel King, together with her brother, David, published their politically correct and socially conscious books for adults. In her novel “The Nationality of Everyday People”, she tackles the concept of nationality, identity and class. In her article “How Classless is Everyone?” she tackles the question of economic class and its implications on nationalities.

Isabel King’s own nationalities are English, Polish and German. She was born in Basle, Switzerland, where her father worked as a translator from German. Her mother, Sander, was English and her father was German. All her relatives are English, Polish or German.

The work of Isabel King is rooted in social analysis and criticism. She scrutinized the underside of class and nationality. She unmasked sham nationalities and showed how they were created, how they profit from the system and why we should resist their corrosion of our societies. A Nationality is a political concept that involves an allegiance that is based on some ideal or lie. Nationality thus refers to class interest as well as a class consciousness. Through her articles and essays, Isabel King attempted to shed light on these opaque aspects of nationalities, revealing a rich diversity that is the basis for progressive politics.
