Decolonize Now

What’s empire got to do with it? Everything.

From global inequality to our interactions with each other the impacts of colonialism are everywhere. It’s not just a matter of the past. This edition explores how colonialism lives on, what it could mean to reckon with that and why it is essential to building a more just future.

As an international magazine, with a focus on the Global South, how Empire shaped our world is an essential part of any story we tell. This Big Story rounds off our Decolonize How? series, which has been using the methods of 'solutions journalism' to do just that.

This edition also includes two new sections: an extended commentary slot, in which Nanjala Nyambola takes on racist border policies, and a longer book review.
