It's time to tell the story of the Empire from the perspectives of the peoples who were colonized. Understand the nuances of the British Empire across different periods and places, examining this complex and controversial history with respect and accuracy.
Explore the different experiences around the world. This book features more breadth and depth than any other, helping students reflect on what the Empire meant for people in Ireland, America, the Caribbean, India, China, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Iraq, Palestine, and Britain, over a period of more than 500 years.
See the Empire like a true historian. Influenced by modern historical research, we give voice to the indigenous peoples of the colonies and tell their stories for the first time in a school textbook. We focus on the consequences and experiences, asking better questions and moving away from the traditional approach.
Diversify your curriculum. Designed to be used flexibly, the book contains short inquiries that can be incorporated into any lesson plans you follow. Structured into three key periods, it empowers you to teach the Empire in a way that suits you and your students, whether chronologically, geographically, or thematically.
Benefit from the perspective of 11 authors. The diverse group of authors comes from all over Britain, bringing a rich perspective and lived experiences to the narrative. Together, they share a common goal of improving education about the Empire.
Trust the academic endorsement. The authors collaborated with 25 historians from the start of the project, who reviewed the content to ensure that the historiography is accurate and up-to-date.
