Sathnam Sanghera, author EMPIRELAND, on the hidden legacies and modern realities of the British empire
The new book EMPIRELAND is an illuminating tour through the hidden legacies and modern realities of British empire that exposes how much of the present-day United Kingdom is actually rooted in its colonial past. In accessible, witty prose, award-winning journalist and best-selling author Sathnam Sanghera traces this legacy back to its source, exposing how—in both profound and innocuous ways—imperial domination has shaped the United Kingdom we know today. EMPIRELAND boldly makes the case that in order to understand America, we must first understand British imperialism.
