British culture after Empire is the first collection of its kind to explore the intertwined social, cultural and political aftermath of empire in Britain from 1945 up to and beyond the Brexit referendum of 2016, combining approaches from the fields of history, English and cultural studies. Against those who would deny, downplay or attempt to forget Britain’s imperial legacy, the various contributions expose and explore how the British Empire and the consequences of its end continue to shape Britain at the local, national and international level. As an important and urgent intervention in a field of increasing relevance within and beyond the academy, the book offers fresh perspectives on the colonial hangovers in post-colonial Britain from up-and-coming as well as established scholars.
'An important and interesting book filled with important essays.'
Freddy Foks, Contemporary British History
' ...an engaging and rich conversation about how we can and should conceptualize the manifold legacies of Empire in contemporary Britain, including a useful discussion of these issues in relation to the four nations that make up Britain.'
