In this episode, we talk to Dr Uther Charlton-Stevens to discuss the themes of his book ‘Anglo India and the End of Empire’. Drawing from Uther’s expertise, the episode explores the complex identities of Anglo-Indians in colonial India, the impact of the political decisions of the British on their lives, their interaction with different phases of the nationalist movements and the social complexities of the Indian and European societies that contributed to shaping the Anglo-Indian community.
Uther Charlton-Stevens is a lecturer at the Department of History, University of Hong Kong, teaching courses on the British Empire and the Second World War. His latest book – Anglo-India and the End of Empire – is available directly from Hurst Publishers, UK, and Oxford University Press, USA, and from Amazon. A Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society, Charlton-Stevens’ first book - Anglo-Indians and Minority Politics in South Asia - was published as part of the Royal Asiatic Society Books series by Routledge, UK, and is now available in paperback. Charlton-Stevens earned his doctorate from the University of Oxford, where he read Modern History as an undergraduate. Having begun his research on military technology transfers between Europe and Asia during his Master’s in Global History at the London School of Economics, his historical writing has since focused on his father's community of ‘mixed-race’ Anglo-Indians in colonial India and Burma (modern Myanmar), and similar groups of Eurasians in other former British colonies in Asia, including Singapore and his own hometown of Hong Kong.
