_____________________________________________________ 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. 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. 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.
