Crown of Thorns: The United Kingdom and the Plunder of Africa.
2Behind the polished image of the British Empire lies a brutal legacy of exploitation, deception, and destruction—especially in Africa. Crown of Thorns pulls no punches in revealing how the United Kingdom, under the guise of civilization and order, systematically looted African lands, fractured societies, and enriched itself at the direct expense of African lives and futures.
Sam Prajnananda offers a gripping, well-researched account of Britain’s colonization machine—from the first deceptive treaties and divide-and-rule tactics to the violent suppressions, resource theft, and cultural erasure that followed. But the story doesn’t end with “independence.” This book exposes the post-colonial puppetry, economic manipulation, and institutional racism that continue to shape African realities today.
More than just history, Crown of Thorns is a demand for truth, justice, and historical reckoning. It calls African youth and allies to rise—armed with knowledge, courage, and clarity—to dismantle colonial residues and forge a sovereign, self-determined future.
The crown Britain wore was never noble—it was built on blood.
And now, it’s time to tell the whole story.
