Description
Sugar in the Blood: A Family's Story of Slavery and Empire by Andrea Stuart In the late 17th century, a young man from England set sail for the New World, drawn by the promise of a lucrative sugar plantation. His journey would lead to a life of insatiable greed and forbidden love, of abuse and liberation. This is the story of his descendants, and the complex legacy they have inherited. Andrea Stuart's family history is one of slavery, empire, and the brutal realities of the sugar trade. With meticulous research and a keen eye for detail, Stuart unravels the tangled threads of her family's past, revealing the dark secrets and hidden truths that have been passed down through the generations. This is a powerful and thought-provoking account of the human cost of slavery and the sugar trade, and a testament to the enduring power of family history to shape our understanding of ourselves and our world.
