T he British Empire is often misunderstood.
Judgments of it differ widely, from broadly
adulatory — a ‘great’ enterprise, spreading
c civilisation’ through the world; to the blame
that is often put on it for most of the world’s
ills today; including racism, exploitation,
tyranny and the problems of the Middle East,
In this provocative hook, Bernard Porter argues
that many of these judgments arise from some
fundamental mis readings of the nature, causes
and effects of British imperialism, which was a
more complex, ambivalent and in some ways
fortuitous phenomenon than it is often taken to
be. In this area, as in so many others in history,
popular myth is very far from the reality.
Drawing on his fifty years’ experience of
research and writing on the subject, Porter aims
to clear away many of the misconceptions that
surround the story of the British Empire’s rise,
governance and fall; and to point some ways to
a fairer (though not necessarily more favourable)
assessment of it. He shows that Britain did not
deliberately acquire an empire in the traditional
manner — through deliberate conquest — but
acquired it gradually and almost accidentally,
He examines the phenomenon of British
imperialism critically, by, firstly, contextualising
it, against the background of contemporary
British society, the situation of the world, and
rival or complementary historical forces; and
secondly, deconstructing it, in the sense of
breaking it down into its constituent components.
By addressing the connections of imperialism
with capitalism, racism and British domestic
culture, Porter is able to reflect on the modern
repercussions of both the Empire itself, and the
myths which have sprung up around it.
