Wiles Lectures

Prize-winning historian Robert Gildea shows that how empires did not vanish after 1945 but were constantly reinvented as neo-colonialisms. He shows how postwar immigration from the former colonies provoked racism, segregation and exclusion in metropolitan Britain and France and how imperial nostalgia has bedevilled Britain's relations with Europe.

Istoricul premiat Robert Gildea arata ca modul in care imperiile nu au disparut dupa 1945, ci au fost reinventate constant ca neocolonialisme. El arata cum imigratia de dupa razboi din fostele colonii a provocat rasismul, segregarea si excluderea in Marea Britanie si Franta metropolitane si cum nostalgia imperiala a pus in pericol relatiile Marii Britanii cu Europa.
