Behind 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.

    As a Nigerian living in London, I found “Crown of Thorns” to be a courageous and eye-opening account. Prajnananda confronts the painful truths of British colonialism, unraveling its long-lasting impact on Africa. The book weaves personal stories and historical detail, calling for justice and remembrance. It’s a powerful resource for the diaspora, helping us understand our past and inspiring us to demand accountability and change.

  2. Lerato Molefe –

    I’m a South African-Brit based in Manchester. “Crown of Thorns” resonated deeply with my family’s experiences and the broader African story. Prajnananda’s thorough research and honest narrative highlight the real costs of empire, blending history and advocacy. This book empowers Africans in the diaspora to reclaim our narrative, seek healing, and champion truth. A must-read for those wanting to understand the roots of present-day inequalities.
