概要

Brought to you by Peguin.

This book is not just written to enlighten. It is written with the optimism that it may contribute to a willingness to dismantle unsustainable 500-year-old hierarchies.

After five long centuries, the roots of colonialism still run deep.

This is a powerful new reckoning with Britain’s imperial legacy, its transformative effects on Britain and the Caribbean and its enduring role in systemic racism today. And it is a call for us all to learn from the challenges and failures of history and to play our part in creating a blueprint for the future.

We cannot change the past. But we can repair the present.

批評家のレビュー

Rewardingly readable . . . Empire Without End is a valuable and accessible compendium with Umoren skilfully distilling complicated histories . . . With forensic analysis, Umoren skewers British mendacity perfected over centuries (Colin Grant)
Powerful . . . [An] ambitious and arresting work of impressive historical scope and scale
Ambitious, powerfully argued and beautifully shaped, written, illustrated and produced (Robert Gildea)
Gracefully and insightfully, Empire Without End demonstrates the profound interconnectedness of the contemporary world: the ways in which Britain was made, and the Caribbean unmade, and how politics and culture were profoundly shaped in very different societies. Anyone seeking to understand the upsurge of racial imperialism in our own time cannot afford to miss it (Pankaj Mishra)
This book carefully places today’s racial injustice where it belongs – in the context of a richly told, unending history of Empire from which we cannot turn away (Afua Hirsch)
The book that we have needed for so long, illuminating a narrative that has long been scattered among fragments of other stories. An elegant and powerful triumph of historical narration of a five-hundred-year-old story that binds Britain and the Caribbean till today. In clear and compassionate prose, Imaobong Umoren calls on us to reckon collectively with this past, laying the groundwork for us to do so with this epic account (Priya Satia, Raymond A. Spruance Professor of International History at Stanford University)
A very powerful account of the entanglements between Britain and the Caribbean, from the moment that planters first appreciated the profits they could make from sugar and slavery to Black Lives Matter and the backlash against it (Alan Lester)
An all-encompassing, immensely readable, centuries-spanning history of the Caribbean’s relationship with Britain… it deserves to reach a wide, general audience
