| Summary, etc | EMPIRE explains why there are millions of Britons living worldwide.<br/>EMPIRE explains Brexit and the feeling that we are exceptional.<br/>EMPIRE explains our distrust of cleverness.<br/>EMPIRE explains Britain's particular brand of racism.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/>_______________________________________________________<br/><br/>'Empireland takes a perfectly-judged approach to its contentious but necessary subject' Jonathan Coe<br/><br/>'I only wish this book has been around when I was at school' Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London<br/><br/>'This remarkable book shines the brightest of lights into some of the darkest and most misunderstood corners of our shared history' James O'Brien |
