EMPIREWORLD (HB)

The British Empire's influence upon the quarter of the planet it occupied, and upon the world as a whole, has been profound. Yet Britain's idea of its imperial history and the world's experience of it are two different things. This book explores the international legacies of British empire – such as the creation of plantations, environmental destruction, conservation, and the imperial connotations of Royal tours. In doing so, Sanghera demonstrates why it’s time Britain was finally honest with itself about empire.
