Who is The British Empire from The Invention of Tradition and what is their importance?

One criticism of The Invention of Tradition is that it is Anglo-centric, meaning that it focuses excessively on invented traditions in the United Kingdom. Whether or not this is a flaw of the book, the criticism has some truth. Nearly all of the essays concern either invented traditions within the United Kingdom such as Welsh and Scottish invented traditions and the tradition of royal ceremonial associated with the English monarchy or the invented traditions in British imperial territories such as the Imperial Assemblage ceremony.
