‘Contemplating the Colors of Controversy: Britain's Banner and
the Burden of History.’
As Britain grapples with the implications of the newly passed
Rwanda Bill and the tumultuous St. George's Day celebrations,
Tracy prompts us to examine the deeper values and associations
tied to being British in 2024.
Tracy reflects on the present-day overseas territories – remnants
of an empire where the Union Jack once claimed dominion over
every corner of the globe. She navigates the turbulent waters of
Britain's colonial legacy, from the Windrush scandal to the
persistent echoes of the Conservative Monday Club, questioning
the evolving role of migration in shaping Britain's economic and
social fabric.
As Tracy dissects the Union Jack's inception amid colonial
endeavours, we confront the flag's dual nature of unification and
dominance. Can the Union Jack be reclaimed, and if so, by whom
and for what purpose?
