1. Empireland
The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the British Empire's enduring impact on modern Britain. It delves into the ways in which imperialism has shaped the nation's psyche, politics, economy, and identity, often in ways that are overlooked or forgotten. Through a combination of personal memoir, historical analysis, and contemporary observation, the author challenges readers to confront the legacies of colonialism, including racism and cultural appropriation, and to recognize how the empire's influence permeates various aspects of British life, from its institutions to its global relationships. The work serves as a call to acknowledge and address this complex inheritance in order to better understand present-day Britain.
