Empireland: How Imperialism Has Shaped Modern Britain
Sathnam Sanghera in conversation with Emily Benn
A session that explores the reality and legacy of the British Empire. Sathnam Sanghera’s latest book, Empireland: How Imperialism Has Shaped Modern Britain, is a brilliant commentary on the painful history large parts of the world share. Sanghera’s narrative focuses on the importance of accepting Britain’s imperial past in order to understand its present and future. In conversation with Emily Benn, Sanghera explores why the existence of the British Empire is often 'forgotten' in Modern Britain and underscores the importance of confronting a deeply troubled past.

He has been shortlisted for the Costa Book Awards twice, for his memoir The Boy With The Topknot and his novel Marriage Material, the former being adapted by BBC Drama in 2017. His third book, Empireland: How Imperialism Has Been Shaped Modern Britain, became an instant Sunday Times bestseller in 2021, was named Book of the Year at the 2022 British Books Awards, and inspired Channel 4’s Empire State of Mind.
