‘Cultural self-effacement in music education’ in:
A Sorry State: Self-denigration in British Culture
Edited by Peter Whittle, Foreword by Michael Burleigh
(The New Culture Forum, 2010)

"Self-loathing permeates our culture to such an extent that we no longer even see it for what it is. For many of us, it has come to be the natural way of looking at the world.
We have become used to living in a permanent state of cultural cringe, of apology, of guilt for real or imagined acts; where our opinion formers appear to agree that western culture is an indefensible horror." Peter Whittle
