Empire Without End

A powerful and important reckoning with Britain's imperial legacy and contemporary systemic racism 'A richly told history of Empire from which we cannot turn away' AFUA HIRSCH 'I’d have loved to have read such a book when I was a schoolboy' COLIN GRANT From the 1500s to the mid-twentieth century, the events that took place in the Caribbean – from conquest, colonisation and capitalism to racial slavery, revolution and migration – and the people who forged them played a seminal role in creating modern Britain and the Anglophone Caribbean. By the 1960s, Western global empires had begun to crumble. Yet the British Empire in the Caribbean did not end. Instead, colonialism was replaced with a new type of power whose impact can still be felt: neo-colonialism.
