Description
Untold Histories: Black People in England and Wales During the Period of the British Slave Trade, c. 1660-1807
This book presents a new perspective on the lives of ordinary black people in England and Wales during the period of the British slave trade. Drawing on a comprehensive database, it reveals previously unknown information about their experiences, including sex ratios, ages, and treatment by the criminal justice system.
Through unique statistical data and the life stories of ordinary individuals, this book challenges conventional assumptions about the lives of black people during this period. It shows that they were not just enslaved outsiders, but integrated into English society as government officials, tradesmen, and founders of families, leaving a lasting legacy that can still be seen today.
