The Truth About Empire comes from expert historians who believe that the truth, as far as we can pinpoint it, matters; that our decades of painstaking research make us worth listening to; and that our authority as leading professionals should count for something in today⠙s polarised debates over Britain⠙s imperial past.In the culture wars, the public⠙s understanding of colonial history is continually distorted by wilful caricatures. With their fight to highlight Empire⠙s horrors, communities whose voices once went unheard have alienated many who would prefer a celebratory national history. The backlash, orchestrated by elements of the media, has produced a concerted denial of British imperial racism and violence⠔a disinformation campaign sharing both tactics and motivations with those around Covid, Brexit and climate change.From Australia and China to India and South Africa, this essay collection is an accessible guide to the British Empire, and a shield against the assault on historical truth. The disturbing stories told in these pages, of Empire⠙s culture, politics and economics, show why professional research matters, when deciding what can and cannot be known about Britain⠙s colonial past.

A glorious celebration and interrogation of friendship, packed with insights from brilliant women including Emma Barnett, Pandora Sykes, Jane Garvey and Jilly Cooper. Why do some friendships last a lifetime, while others fade away?How do you break up with a friend?How many best friends should we be aiming for?From the time we start school, we are fed a diet of Best Friends Forever - the idea that you should have a female soulmate to whom you tell all your secrets and who always has your back. It s the stuff of Hollywood films, but for most of us it isn t achievable. We spend years striving for a vision of female friendship that isn t realistic instead of searching for what suits us best or appreciating what we ve already got.

An antidote to the idea that every woman must belong to a perfect girl gang, this book is a warm and reassuring guide to help women deepen their female friendships in ways that are meaningful and enduring. _________________________________ It took me until my thirties to feel truly secure in my friendships - my female ones in particular. I truly believe that if I d had a book like this when I was younger, it would have fallen into place sooner. That I d have been happier, more trusting and able to deal with any bumps in the road. That s why I want us all to start telling the truth about female friendship. Because if I - raised in a house full of women, the product of two all-girls schools and the women s editor of a national newspaper - found it hard to trust, open up and had convinced myself that female friends weren t for me , then you might not have it worked out either.

But who is this mysterious enigma?Alan Gordon Partridge is the best â “ and best-loved â “ radio presenter in the region. Born into a changing world of rationing, Teddy Boys, apes in space and the launch of ITV, Alanâ ™s broadcasting career began as chief DJ of Radio Smile at St. Lukeâ ™s Hospital in Norwich. After replacing Peter Flint as the presenter of Scout About, he entered the top 8 of BBC sports presenters.But Alanâ ™s big break came with his primetime BBC chat show Knowing Me, Knowing You. Sadly, the show battled against poor scheduling, having been put up against News at Ten, then in its heyday. Due to declining ratings, a single catastrophic hitch (the killing of a guest on air) and the dumbing down of network TV, Alanâ ™s show was cancelled. Not to be dissuaded, he embraced this opportunity to wind up his production company, leave London and fulfil a lifelong ambition to return to his roots in local radio.Now single, Alan is an intensely private man but he opens up, for the second time, in this candid, entertaining, often deeply emotional â “ and of course compelling â “ memoir, written entirely in his own words. (Alan quickly dispelled the idea of using a ghost writer. With a grade B English Language O-Level, he knew he was up to the task.)He speaks touchingly about his tragic Toblerone addiction, and the painful moment when unsold copies of his first autobiography, Bouncing Back, were pulped like â ˜word porridgeâ ™. He reveals all about his relationship with his ex-Ukrainian girlfriend, Sonja, with whom he had sex at least twice a day, and the truth about the thick people who make key decisions at the BBC.A literary tour de force, I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan charts the incredible journey of one of our greatest broadcasters.

Publishers Weekly In a profound work that pivots from the biggest questions about American history and ideals to the most intimate concerns of a father for his son, Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a powerful new framework for understanding our nation’s history and current crisis. Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward. Praise for Between the World and Me “Powerful . . . a searing meditation on what it means to be black in America today.”
