Empireland: How Imperialism Has Shaped Modern Britain by Christ's College Cambs published on 2023-03-14T15:31:36Z On 21 February, Sathnam Sanghera (m. 1995) sat down with Christ's Fellow Professor Duncan Bell for a fascinating and thought-provoking conversation about his recent book Empireland: How Imperialism Has Shaped Modern Britain.' The bestselling book is Mr Sanghera's effort to face up to Britain's imperial history and the 'toxic mixture of nostalgia and amnesia' which he argues underpins an attitude of British exceptionalism, a distrust of experts, and a blindness to its enduring racism. In this Lady Margaret Lecture, Mr Sanghera and Professor Bell, a historian of British imperial ideology, discussed the book and how Britain's educational, social, and political systems could better reflect the realities of its imperialist past.
