This book discusses the way in which those born into the British empire were persuaded to accept it, often with enthusiasm. The study compares the perceptions of people at 'home', in the dominions and in the colonies.

It also considers the significant issues of colonial adaptation, resistance and rejection, and the post-imperial consequences of imperialism.
