Sathnam Sanghera's Empireworld: How British imperialism shaped the globe

Following his seminal book Empireland, Times writer Sathnam Sanghera now looks at the legacy of colonialism for the billions of people Britain once ruled over – from houseplants to the state of democracy. He also tells us about the fallout from Empireland, and why the debate around our own history has become so toxic. This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.
