AFTERLIVES OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE
A broad overview of the history of the British Empire, and its afterlives in the present. The talk will cover the violent rise of the British Empire to global power in the nineteenth century, British colonialism in Asia and Africa in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, decolonisation, and forms of neo-colonialism that persist in the present.
