‘Contemplating the Colors of Controversy: Britain's Banner and the Burden of History.’
As Britain grapples with the implications of the newly passed Rwanda Bill and the tumultuous St. George's Day celebrations, Tracy prompts us to examine the deeper values and associations tied to being British in 2024.
Tracy reflects on the present-day overseas territories – remnants of an empire where the Union Jack once claimed dominion over every corner of the globe. She navigates the turbulent waters of Britain's colonial legacy, from the Windrush scandal to the persistent echoes of the Conservative Monday Club, questioning the evolving role of migration in shaping Britain's economic and social fabric.
As Tracy dissects the Union Jack's inception amid colonial endeavours, we confront the flag's dual nature of unification and dominance. Can the Union Jack be reclaimed, and if so, by whom and for what purpose?
