While the British Empire is long gone, it survives as a recurring
flashpoint in heated debates about the present and future of
Britain and the nations over which Britain once ruled. Embers of
Empire in Brexit Britain turns a critical eye to the widely-held
notion that the long shadow of the imperial past has much to answer
for, and asks to what extent should the residual after-effects of
Britain's colonial empire be taken at face value? From the 'Rhodes
must fall' controversy and contested anniversaries to immigration
scares and the question of what Britishness is in a post-imperial
world, an eclectic mix of expert researchers, writers and
commentators consider the legacy of the British empire in the
battle over Brexit. As the United Kingdom haggles its way out of
the European Union and casts about for an alternative future, this
volume shows how the memory of the empire is still as potent a
political force as ever.
