Exploring the Legacy of the British Empire

The discussion highlights Sartnam Sanghera's book, Empire World, as a significant follow-up to his earlier work, Empire Land. This new volume investigates the lasting impacts of the British Empire across various former colonies, including India, Barbados, and Nigeria. Through personal experiences and travel narratives, Sanghera reveals how these countries reflect the lingering effects of colonial rule, often obscured by a collective forgetfulness surrounding empire discussions. Importantly, the book emphasizes that the legacy of the empire is not just a local concern for people in the UK, but a global conversation that encompasses the 2.6 billion individuals living in former British territories.
