Challenge Britain’s imperial narrative with Peter Fryer’s profound exploration of the British Empire. This vital work exposes the brutal realities of exploitation and oppression in the Caribbean colonies, revealing how profits from the slave trade fuelled industrial growth and how colonies were deliberately de-industrialised. Discover the scale of resistance against colonial domination and the deep-seated ideology of racism used to justify empire. Essential for students of history and anyone seeking a critical understanding of global colonial legacies, this book restores the central role of Black people in shaping Britain’s past. A must-read for critical thinkers.
