Description
The influence of British imperialism can be seen in almost every corner of the globe. With over 2.6 billion people living in former British colonies, its impact on the world is profound. From the spread of Christianity to the widespread use of driving on the left side of the road, British imperialism has left a lasting legacy. However, the way Britain views its own imperial history and the world's experience of it are often vastly different. In "Empireworld", Sathnam Sanghera takes a closer look at the international legacies of British imperialism, tracing its influence from the Caribbean to India and beyond. By examining the ways in which British imperialism has shaped the world, Sanghera sheds light on why it's time for Britain to be honest about its past. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the enduring impact of British imperialism, and how it continues to shape our world today.
