Claiming 'back' the Union Jack

Unveiling the Union Jack: a symbol of unity or controversy?


Dive into the fabric of a nation with Tracy DW as she unfurls the
rich and complex tapestry that is the Union Jack. In this
thought-provoking episode of 'Stories to be tolled,' she explores
the historical evolution of the United Kingdom's flag and the
profound narratives it weaves through the union of crowns,
faiths, and nations. 


Tracy takes us on a poignant journey through the annals of the
British Empire, examining the legacy of colonization and the
indelible marks left upon the world—from the Indian subcontinent
to the Caribbean shores. She questions the morality of foreign
policy, reflects on personal milestones against the backdrop of
celestial events, and probes the pressing issues that strain the
bonds of the union today.


But what does the future hold for the Union Jack and the values
it represents? Can we reclaim the flag from the clutches of
negative connotations and restore its rightful connotations of
unity and patriotism? Tracy prompts us to consider the ownership
of national symbols and the importance of cultural identity in a
postcolonial world.
