This compelling and important history of the British Empire, told
from the perspective of 20 people who lived through it, tells the
story of one of the largest and most powerful empires in human
history. At one time, the British Empire ruled over almost a
quarter of the world’s population. Men, women and children from
all walks of life and from across the globe were affected in big
and small ways, from the clothes they wore, the food they ate and
the languages they spoke to the work they did and the rights they
held. This legacy and impact is still evident all over the world
today. This book shines a light on the human aspects of the
‘Empire where the sun never
sets’, introducing readers to a host of figures, both
powerful and modest, who lived through, challenged, and influenced
the course of the British Empire. But how did this empire come to
be? And what happened to the people whose lands were
colonised? The people whose lives were touched? This
book tells their stories and reclaims this chapter in history by
giving voice to 20Â real figures whose perspectives have often
been ignored, overlooked or sidelined. Their stories are told
in a first-person narrative style, allowing readers to see
through the eyes of these inspiring history-keepers.
From leaders and activists to poets and freedom fighters, the
book features a range of figures from across five continents,
shining a light on the human aspect of the British Empire.

Der zweisprachige Band untersucht Kampfe und Regimes der
Zugehoerigkeit und diskutiert "Inclusive Citizenship" in
Originalbeitragen und Konversationen von internationalen
Forscher*innen und Aktivist*innen. Im Spannungsfeld von Acts und
Regimes of Citizenship stellen sich hochpolitische Fragen der
Agency zu Bewegungsfreiheit, digitalen Rechten, Zugehoerigkeit zum
stadtischen Raum, Care und Sprache. Wir diskutieren diese im
lokalen, regionalen, digitalen oder (trans-)nationalen Raum zu
aktuellen Migrationsbewegungen nach und in Europa,
rassismuskritischem und (queer-)feministischem Aktivismus gegen
institutionelle und Alltagsdiskriminierung in ungleichen
Gesellschaften. The bilingual volume examines struggles and regimes
of belonging and discusses "inclusive citizenship" in original
contributions and conversations by international researchers and
activists. Between acts and regimes of citizenship, highly
political questions of agency emerge about freedom of movement,
digital rights, belonging to urban space, care, and language. We
discuss these in local, regional, digital or (trans-)national space
regarding current migration movements to and in Europe, and
critical racism and (queer-)feminist activism against institutional
and everyday discrimination in unequal societies.
In dem Band werden kreative Wege der Sprachvermittlung,
institutionelle Zugange fur Zugewanderte und psychosoziale und
rechtliche Aspekte nach Flucht und Migration aufgezeigt. Besonders
im Kontext der Lehrerbildung bestehen hier aktuell Defizite, die in
den Beitragen aufgegriffen werden und in der
Sprachlernunterstutzung einen ganzheitlichen Ansatz vorschlagen.
