About this product

Product Information

The groundbreaking bestseller which examines the effect of empire on modern Britain In Britain, imperialism is everywhere - though we often choose not to see it. From the way we travel and the foundation of the NHS to the nature of our racism and wealth, it is central to the way we think and conduct politics. In his bestselling book, Sathnam Sanghera demonstrates how so much of modern Britain - including the exceptionalism that inspired Brexit and our response to the COVID-19 crisis - is rooted in our imperial past. Empire is foundational to modern Britain yet is barely taught in schools or mentioned in museums. 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 illuminating portrait of modern British society with the power and potential to change minds.

  • Empireland.

    It’s astonishing how much 400 years of incursions into foreign countries affect our daily lives. Mr Sanghera has done the research and has been as astonished as the reader at what he’s found.

  • Loss of Empire Syndrome

    Many reviewers say the same thing: a great book, long-needed to put the Empire into truth and perspective. I keep saying that our main problem is that we have not accepted the loss of Empire!
