| Video Discription | Sathnam Sanghera is author of 'Empireland: How Modern Britain is Shaped by its Imperial Past', memoir 'The Boy With The Topknot: Love, Secrets and Lies in Wolverhampton', and novel 'Marriage Material'. Between 1998 and 2006 Sathnam was at the 'Financial Times', before joining 'The Times' in 2007; he writes for them to this day. He is a regular contributor on national radio and TV, and has presented a range of documentaries, including 'The Massacre That Shook The Empire' on Channel 4, which was shortlisted for best Factual TV show at the 2019 Asian Media Awards. He has won numerous prizes for his journalism, including the Edgar Wallace Trophy for Writing of the Highest Quality in the 2017 London Press Club Awards. Samira Ahmed is a multi-award winning journalist and broadcaster with a special focus on culture, politics, and social change. She won Audio Broadcaster of the Year at the 2020 British Press Guild Awards for her work as a presenter of 'Front Row' on BBC Radio 4 and her podcast 'How I Found My Voice'. About 'Empireland': The British Empire ran for centuries and covered vast swathes of the world. It is, as Sanghera reveals, fundamental to understanding Britain. However, even among those who celebrate the empire there seems to be a desire not to look at it too closely - not to include the subject in our school history books, not to emphasize it too much in our favourite museums. At a time of great division, when we are arguing about what it means to be British, Sanghera's book urges us to address this bewildering contradiction. For, it is only by stepping back and seeing where we really come from, that we can begin to understand who we are, and what unites us. |
