About this Event

UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) hosts a fascinating discussion on Uncommon Health: Britain and the aftermath of Empire in conversation with Dr Kojo Koram

is the little known and shocking history of how Britain treated its former non-white colonies after the end of empire. It is the story of how an interconnected group of British capitalists enabled horrific inequality across the globe, profiting in colonial Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. However, the greed unleashed in this era would boomerang, now leaving many ordinary Britons wondering where their own prosperity has gone. Ranging from Jamaica to Singapore, Ghana to Britain, this is a blistering account of how buried decisions of decades past are ravaging Britain today.
