In December 2017, in the spring of 2018, I signed a contract, write a book on colonialism. The publisher came to me and said, I'm writing an intelligent person's guide to colonialism. It was by the close of December 2020. And so at 3pm on New Year's Eve, on 2020, I dispatched the manuscript with a whole nine hours to spare. Then early 21, my commissioning editor wrote back,. he read the manuscript, he said, he used the word, what did he want the word speechless was the word he used? Nigel: If only my critics knew what good service they performed for me.
Nigel Biggar CBE was Emeritus Regius Professor of Moral Theology at the University of Oxford and Distinguished Scholar in Residence at Pusey House, Oxford. He holds a BA in Modern History from Oxford and a PhD in Christian Theology & Ethics from the University of Chicago. His most recent book 'Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning' was initially accepted by Bloomsbury, who later changed their mind claiming "public feeling on the subject does not currently support the publication of the book". The book was ultimately published by William Collins and has become a Sunday Times Bestseller.
