''Rich, insightful, challenging and surprising, this is an astonishing book. Sally Tomlinson takes the reader on a whirlwind tour through the history of Empire then and now laying bare the racist fantasies of oppression and control that should shame a nation and yet continue to shape the present day.'' David Gillborn, University of Birmingham “We should have a post-imperial narrative that is inclusive of everyone’s history. Too often people discuss the British Empire in dichotomous ways: should we feel pride or shame about the Empire? We should be asking how the past affects the present and what we can learn from it. This is what Sally Tomlinson achieves in this book.” Zubaida Haque, Deputy Director of the Runnymede Trust
"This unique study of the background to Brexit tells the full story of the imperialist legacy and the educational differences that underlay it in a systematic critique that goes a long way to explaining our current dilemmas." Gary McCulloch, UCL Institute of Education
