Charlotte Lydia Riley is a British historian and lecturer at the University of Southampton who specialises in the history of the British Empire, decolonisation, and modern British politics. Her book Imperial Island examines how the legacy of empire continues to shape British identity, politics, and culture, arguing that the UK has never... fully reckoned with its imperial past. Riley's audiobook offers listeners a sharp, accessible, and essential exploration of how the history of empire still defines Britain today. Read more Show less
