A strong emotional attachment to the memory of empire runs deep in
British culture. In recent years, that memory has become a
battleground in a long-drawn ideological war, inflecting debates on
race, class, gender, culture, the UK's future and its place in the
world. This provocative and passionate book surveys the scene of
the imperial memory wars in contemporary Britain, exploring how the
myths that structure our views of empire came to be, and how they
inform the present. Taking in such diverse subjects as Rory Stewart
and inter-war adventure fiction, man's facial hair and Kipling, the
Alt-right and the Red Wall, Imperial Nostalgia asks how our
relationship with our national past has gone wrong, and how it
might be improved. -- .
