Written by specialists from various fields, this edited volume is
the first systematic investigation of the impact of imperialism on
twentieth-century Britain. The contributors explore different
aspects of Britain's imperial experience as the empire weathered
the storms of the two world wars, was subsequently dismantled, and
then apparently was gone. How widely was the empire's presence felt
in British culture and society? What was the place of imperial
questions in British party politics? Was Britain's status as a
global power enhanced or underpinned by the existence of its
empire? What was the relation of Britain's empire to national
identities within the United Kingdom? The chapters range widely
from social attitudes to empire and the place of the colonies in
the public imagination, to the implications of imperialism for
demography, trade, party politics and political culture, government
and foreign policy, the churches and civil society, and the armed
forces. The volume also addresses the fascinating yet complex
question of how, after the formal end of empire, the colonial past
has continued to impinge upon our post-colonial present, as
contributors reflect upon the diverse ways in which the legacies of
empire are interpreted and debated in Britain today.
