Yet Britain’s idea of its imperial history and the world’s experience of it are two very different things. ­­With an inimitable combination of wit, political insight and personal honesty, the award-winning author and journalist explores the international legacies of British empire – from the creation of tea plantations across the globe, to environmental destruction, conservation, and the imperial connotations of Royal tours. Empireland: How Imperialism Has Shaped Modern Britain: EMPIRE explains our distrust of cleverness.EMPIRE explains Britain’s particular brand of racism.Strangely hidden from view, the British Empire remains a subject of both shame and glorification. In his bestselling book, Sathnam Sanghera shows how our imperial past is everywhere: from how we live and think to the foundation of the NHS and even our response to the COVID-19 crisis.At a time of great division, when we are arguing about what it means to be British, Empireland is a groundbreaking revelation – a much-needed and enlightening portrait of contemporary British society. – ASIN: 9124300578 | ISBN13: 9789124300579 | ISBN-13: 978-9124300579
