Yet Britain's idea of its imperial history and the world's experience of it are two very different things. With an inimitable combination of wit, political insight and personal honesty. How Imperialism Has Shaped Modern 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 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.
