Description - Imperial Island: A History of Empire in Modern Britain by Charlotte Lydia Riley
A new history of modern Britain that makes sense of its contradictions today
Imperial Island shows how empire, its disintegration and its ever-present aftermath have profoundly shaped the British people, their culture, society and politics, throughout the last seventy years.
Drawing on a mass of new research, from personal letters to pop culture, it tells a story of immigration and fractured identity, of social strife and communal solidarity, of people on the move and of a people wrestling with their past.
It is the story that best explains Britain today.
