Description

Shadows of Empire: The Anglosphere in British Politics explores the idea of an alliance between Britain and its old Commonwealth colonies. This concept has gained renewed attention in recent years, with some arguing it's a key factor in Brexit. In this book, Michael Kenny and Nick Pearce examine the historical origins of this idea, tracing it back to the late Victorian era. The authors show how British politicians, including prominent figures, have reworked and revived this concept over time. They argue that while the contemporary Anglosphere is flawed, it represents a persistent narrative about Britain's role in the world. This book provides valuable insights for those interested in British politics and post-Brexit foreign policy. Shadows of Empire offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between Britain and its former colonies, shedding light on the enduring influence of the Anglosphere on British politics.
