Description

***FEATURING UPDATED AND NEW MATERIAL***

***THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED THE CHANNEL 4 DOCUMENTARY EMPIRE STATE OF MIND ***
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

The real remedy is education of the kind that Sanghera has embraced - accepting, not ignoring, the past Gerard deGroot, The Times
_____________________________________________________

EMPIRE explains why there are millions of Britons living worldwide.
EMPIRE explains Brexit and the feeling that we are exceptional.
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, shining a light on everything that usually gets left unsaid.
