- Summary:
- In twenty-first century Britain, 'empire' is highly provocative. Its histories of war, conquest and slavery continue to shape our present and future. In Empire, award-winning author and broadcaster Afua Hirsch explores the ways in which Britain's imperial history and its national collection of art interact, and how artists from Britain and around the world have responded to the dramas, tragedies and experiences of the Empire.
