Empireworld : How British Imperialism Has Shaped the Globe by Sathnam Sanghera
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
How great is great is Great Britain?
The 2.6 billion people that currently live in former British colonies would tell you that it wasn’t so great, even though the British perspective might consider that impreialism and colonialism had its benefits.. The former “Empire” built by on slavery, plunder, exploitation and systematic ethnic cleansing.
It promoted modern ideals of environmentalism, but also destroyed natural habitats. It was on the forefront of the abolition wave, but was also built on slavery.
In Empireworld, award-winning author and journalist, Sathnam Sanghera shares his examination of British imperial aftermaths beyond Britain. Travelling across outposts of the former empire from Barbados and Mauritius to India and Nigeria and beyond, he seeks nuance to reveal how contradictory forces of the British empire have shaped our world and what they mean for our place within it today.
And why it's time Britain was finally honest with itself and the world about “the Empire”.
