Empireworld

In 'Empireworld', Sathnam Sanghera extends his analysis of British imperial legacies beyond Britain to the wider world.

The book explores how the British empire, built on slavery but also pioneering abolition, spread democracy while seeding geopolitical instability, and devastated nature while giving birth to modern environmentalism.

Sanghera travels to various former colonies, including Barbados, Mauritius, India, and Nigeria, to reveal the nuanced and deeply researched history of how these contradictory forces have shaped our world today.

The book connects historical legacies to current global challenges such as decolonization, climate justice, and systemic inequality, making it a crucial read for understanding the ongoing impact of the British empire.
