Description

The British empire was built on slavery. This claim is supported by Padraic Scanlan in his thought-provoking history, Slave Empire. By placing enslaved people at the centre of the British empire in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Scanlan sheds new light on how British imperial power and industrial capitalism were intertwined with plantation slavery. His vivid original research and careful synthesis of innovative historical scholarship reveal that British freedom and British slavery were made together. This book offers a powerful re-examination of the history of the British empire, challenging prevailing myths about its nature and legacy.
