"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. This book 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. It is a much-needed and enlightening portrait of contemporary British society, shining a light on everything that usually gets left unsaid."
