Is Britain’s vision of reinvigorating its global position within a
“Commonwealth 2.0” a misconception of past colonial greatness? What
impact does the notion of Empire have on current British politics
and how does it influence discourses on identity? Historian and
director of the Institute of Commonwealth Studies Philip Murphy
sheds light on how Britain is confronting its dark past and whether
the Commonwealth offers a framework for reconciliation and dialogue
between former colonies and colonisers.
