‘A wonderful book’ – Rory Stewart

‘Nuanced and deeply researched’ – Financial Times

‘Not just a welcome corrective but a book for our times’ – Peter Frankopan

The British Empire was built on slavery, yet it also pioneered abolition. It spread democracy, but left behind geopolitical instability. It devastated nature, yet laid the foundations for modern environmentalism.

In this urgent sequel to Empireland, award-winning author and journalist Sathnam Sanghera expands his exploration of imperial legacies beyond Britain—tracing their impact from Barbados to Mauritius, India to Nigeria, and beyond.

Rather than reducing history to a simple balance sheet of good vs. bad, Empireworld delves into the contradictions of the British Empire, revealing how its forces continue to shape the modern world—and what that means for us today.
