An extraordinary forum sponsored by Revolution Books and hosted by Raymond Lotta, writer for rev.com.us featuring Caroline Elkins, a Pulitzer-prize winning author (Imperial Reckoning: The Untold Story of Britain's Gulag in Kenya) discusses her new book Legacy of Violence: A History of British Empire. Elkins is also joined by Maya Jasanoff, author of The Dawn Watch: Joseph Conrad in a Globalized World.
Legacy of Violence could not be more relevant in the wake of the wall-to-wall mourning of Queen Elizabeth, and the sentimentalizing/obfuscation of brutality underlying the empire the sun never set on. Elkins rips off the veil to reveal how slavery, genocide, pillage and plunder is the foundation of the global British empire.
Produced by Mimi Rosenberg and Ken Nash
