This assemblage of formidable essays illuminates the myriad understandings of yesteryear's empire and today's Empire 2.0, their roles in the Brexit debates, and, ultimately, their roles in broader international, national, and self understandings in Britain, continental Europe, and the post-colonial world. Thought-provoking, deftly concise, and lucidly presented, this collection should be assigned reading for scholars and general audiences, alike. * Caroline Elkins, Professor of History and African and African American Studies, Harvard University, USA * A serious, scholarly engagement with the legacies of empire in Brexit Britain is long overdue. Embers of Empire in Brexit Britain brings together an impressive array of scholars, in a volume to make all sides think, argue and look afresh at the afterlives of empire in modern Britain. * Robert Saunders, Senior Lecturer in History, Queen Mary University of London, UK *
