Now in this special in-person and online Jewish Book Week event the Times columnist and The Boy With The Topknot author joins Guardian journalist and The Windrush Betrayal author Amelia Gentleman to explore how so much of British life today – from Brexit and the NHS to our COVID response and discussions of race – are rooted in our imperial past, despite the subject of empire having so often been hidden from view.
