A critical history of the British Empire

Collected here is a bundle of resources that I have used when teaching a history of the British Empire to Year 9. I used them as part of an enquiry in which we attempted to answer the question "Why are some people proud of the British Empire today?". Having used the background material outlining the nature and purpose of the Empire, I was really impressed with how students took to the extract from Kwame Nkrumah's 'Africa Must Unite' - they had a really clear grasp of exactly what he was angry about and why he was so angry.
