The Empire at Home - Internal Colonies and the End of Britain (Paperback)

Modern Britain is forged through the redeployment of structures
that facilitated and legitimized slavery, exploitation and
extermination. This is the 'empire at home' and it is inseparable
from the strategies of neo-colonial extraction and oppression of
subjects abroad. Here, James Trafford develops the notion of
internal colonies, arguing that methods and structures used in
colonial rule are re-deployed internally in contemporary Britain in
order to recreate and solidify imperial power relations. Using
examples including housing segregation, targeted surveillance and
counter-insurgency techniques used in the fight against terrorism,
Trafford reveals Britain's internal colonialism to be a reactive
mechanism to retain British sovereignty. As politics appears
limited by nationalism and protectionism, The Empire at Home issues
a powerful challenge to contemporary politics, demanding that
Britain as an imperial structure must end.
