Description
Black People in the British Empire challenges the traditional narrative of British history by revealing the exploitation and oppression of Britain's subject peoples in its colonies. Peter Fryer examines how racism was used to justify colonial expansion, and how the Industrial Revolution profited from the slave trade.
The book sheds light on the brutal suppression of revolts against slavery and foreign domination, exposing the true history of colonialism and restoring Black people to their central role in Britain's past. By uncovering these hidden truths, Fryer provides a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between Britain and its colonies.
