Much has been written on the how colonial subjects took up British
and European ideas and turned them against empire when making
claims to freedom and self-determination. The possibility of
reverse influence has been largely overlooked. Insurgent Empire
shows how Britain's enslaved and colonial subjects were not merely
victims of empire and subsequent beneficiaries of its crises of
conscience but also agents whose resistance both contributed to
their own liberation and shaped British ideas about freedom and who
could be free. Insurgent Empire examines dissent over the question
of empire in Britain and shows how it was influenced by rebellions
and resistance in the colonies from the West Indies and East Africa
to Egypt and India. It also shows how a pivotal role in fomenting
dissent was played by anti-colonial campaigners based in London at
the heart of the empire.
