Insurgent Empire

Insurgent Empire challenges traditional views of colonialism by exploring how rebellious colonies influenced British attitudes towards empire. The book delves into the role of Britain's enslaved and colonial subjects as agents of resistance, examining the far-reaching effects of their dissent on both their own liberation and British ideas about freedom. From the West Indies and East Africa to Egypt and India, the book exposes the pivotal role played by anti-colonial campaigners in London at the heart of the empire. A thought-provoking read that upsets conventional historical perspectives.
