![]() ![]() Sanghera connects the historical dots across continents and seas to show how the shadows of a colonial past still linger over modern-day Britain and how the world, in turn, was shaped by Britain’s looming hand. In accessible, witty prose, award-winning journalist and best-selling author Sathnam Sanghera traces this legacy back to its source, exposing how-in both profound and innocuous ways-imperial domination has shaped the United Kingdom we know today. From common thought to our daily routines from the foundations of social safety nets to the realities of racism and from the distrust of public intellectuals to the exceptionalism that permeates immigration debates, the Brexit campaign and the global reckonings with controversial memorials, Empireland shows how the pernicious legacy of Western imperialism undergirds our everyday lives, yet remains shockingly obscured from view. Empireland boldly and lucidly makes the case that in order to understand America, we must first understand British imperialism.Įmpire-whether British or otherwise-informs nearly everything we do. A best-selling journalist’s illuminating tour through the hidden legacies and modern realities of British empire that exposes how much of the present-day United Kingdom is actually rooted in its colonial past. ![]() ![]() ![]() I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley.
