From common thought to our daily routines; from the foundations of social safety nets to the realities of racism; and from the distrust of public intellectuals to the exceptionalism that permeates immigration debates, the Brexit campaign and the global reckonings with controversial memorials, Empireland shows how the pernicious legacy of Western imperialism undergirds our everyday lives, yet remains shockingly obscured from view. In accessible, witty prose, award-winning journalist and best-selling author Sathnam Sanghera traces this legacy back to its source, exposing how-in both profound and innocuous ways-imperial domination has shaped the United Kingdom we know today. Sanghera connects the historical dots across continents and seas to show how the shadows of a colonial past still linger over modern-day Britain and how the world, in turn, was shaped by Britain's looming hand. The implications, of course, extend to Britain's most notorious former colony turned imperial power: the United States of America, which prides itself for its maverick soul and yet seems to have inherited all the ambition, brutality and exceptional thinking of its parent. Empireland is a revelatory and lucid work of political history that offers a sobering appraisal of the past so we may move toward a more just future." --publisher's website.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C702395</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C702395</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sanghera, Sathnam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/702395172</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>How Imperialism Has Shaped Modern Britain</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593316689/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Empireland]]></title><description><![CDATA["In this brilliantly illuminating work exploring the realities and legacies of empire, Sathnam Sanghera demonstrates how so much of what we consider to be modern Britain is actually rooted in its imperial past. In prose that is at once both clear-eyed and full of acerbic wit, Sanghera shows how the past is everywhere in the United Kingdom, also drawing critical links to similarities in the United States and around the world. Empire--British or otherwise--informs nearly everything, from common thought processes to the routines that shape everyday life, from the foundation of the National Health Service (NHS), to the nature of racism in the UK, from the British distrust of intellectuals in public life to the exceptionalism that imbued the campaign for Brexit, and the government's early response to the COVID crisis--all while empire is a subject shockingly obscured from view. Revelatory and lucid, Sanghera suggests that cultivating a new, more honest relationship to the past is essential in moving forward"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C695550</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C695550</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sanghera, Sathnam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/695550172</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Imperialism Has Shaped Modern Britain</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593316672/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[So Many Islands]]></title><description><![CDATA["So Many Islands brings us stories about love and protest, about childhood innocence and the traumas of history, about leaving home and trying to return.

Mocked and bettered as a child, she is drawn into life as a servant at the royal court, where she learns that power is the ultimate goal. It's there that she comes to know Keme, a royal scout, and learns to harness her rage and becomes the Moon Witch. As teh Moon Witch, Sogolon is a match for anyone, includeing the Aesi, chancellor to the king, and Tracker a mercenary she traveled with in Black Leopard, Red Wolf. As Moon Witch, Spider King unfolds, it becomes clear that Sogolon sees the search for the boy at the center of Black Leopard, Red Wolf very differently than Tracker does. And her own story is so much more: She confronts new adversaries, suffers unexpected joy and unberarble loss, and comes to realize that truth is a matter of opinion and that to trust a man is to risk losing a part of oneself. -- Publisher's description.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C653658</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C653658</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[James, Marlon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/653658172</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593556443/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Moon Witch, Spider King]]></title><description><![CDATA["From Marlon James, author of the bestselling National Book Award finalist Black Leopard, Red Wolf, the second book in the Dark Star trilogy, his African Game of Thrones.

Defying categorization and full of unforgettable characters, Black Leopard, Red Wolf is both surprising and profound as it explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, and our need to understand them both.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C178520</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C178520</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[James, Marlon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/178520172</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525526858/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Brief History of Seven Killings]]></title><description><![CDATA["From the acclaimed writer of The Book of Night Women comes a masterful novel framed as a fictional oral history that explores the events and characters surrounding the attempted assassination of Bob Marley during the political turmoil on Jamaica in the late 1970s"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C428470</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C428470</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[James, Marlon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/428470172</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781594486005/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[John Crow's Devil]]></title><description><![CDATA["The debut novel from the Caribbean's new literary sensation, Marlon James. This stunning debut novel tells the story of a biblical struggle in a remote Jamaican village in 1957. With language as taut as classic works by Cormac McCarthy, and a richness reminiscent of early Toni Morrison, Marlon James reveals his unique narrative command that will firmly establish his place as one of today's freshest, most talented young writers. In the village of Gibbeah-where certain women fly and certain men protect secrets with their lives-magic coexists with religion, and good and evil are never as they seem. In this town, a battle is fought between two men of God. The story begins when a drunkard named Hector Bligh (the "Rum Preacher") is dragged from his pulpit by a man calling himself "Apostle" York. Handsome and brash, York demands a fire-and-brimstone church, but sets in motion a phenomenal and deadly struggle for the soul of Gibbeah itself. John Crow's Devil is a novel about religious mania, redemption, sexual obsession, and the eternal struggle inside all of us between the righteous and the wicked."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C179014</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C179014</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[James, Marlon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/179014172</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781936070343/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
