Peter Mitchell is a historian, writer and author of “imperial dreams: how the British conquered themselves”.
On this episode, Peter explains how nostalgia emerges out of trauma, how it has informed post-empire politics in Britain, and the ways in which internet culture as heightened this sense of imagined collective loss. He also talks about the ways that British nostalgia has retreated into the mundane, and the ways in which we can move past nostalgia without rejecting it.
