Though scholars have devoted considerable attention to connections
between British domestic culture and imperial expansion, the
twentieth century - in particular, the imperial culture of the
interwar years - has been relatively neglected, even though
propaganda on imperial themes reached a fever pitch after the First
World War, culminating in the 1924-25 British Empire Exhibition.
The Exhibition was the largest such public event in the nation's
history to that point, and it heralded a turning point in the
history of British imperialism. Situated as it was at the
intersection of empire, national identity, and popular culture, it
embodied ongoing conflicts over the future direction of
imperialism. This much-needed study of the British Empire
Exhibition helps to correct an historiographical imbalance by
illustrating durable, persistent connections between empire and
domestic society in Britain during the interwar years, bridging the
era of Victorian dominance and the new 'liberal' discourses of
'progress' and colonial 'development' that emerged in the 1920s.
