The British empire has generally been seen as a racist empire. While not wholly denying this, Cannadine here suggests a different dynamic. The British rulers were motivated not by race but by class - they loathed Indians or Africans no more or less than they loathed the majority of Englishmen. With facsimiles, portraits, index. New ed. Paperback, 288 pages. Size: 198 x 129 mm. Weight: 222g.
