The Zong
On November 29, 1781, Captain Collingwood of the British ship Zong commanded his crew to throw overboard one-third of his cargo: a shipment of Africans bound for slavery in America. The captain believed his ship was off course, and he feared there was not enough drinking water to last until landfall. This book is the first to examine in detail the deplorable killings on the Zong , the lawsuit that ensued, how the murder of 132 slaves affected deb…

Slavery in Small Things
Making the Black Atlantic
The British role in the shaping of the African diaspora was central: the British carried more Africans across the Atlantic than any other nation and their colonial settlements in the Caribbean and North America absorbed vast numbers of Africans. The crops produced by those slaves helped to lay the foundations for Western material well-being, and their associated cultural habits helped to shape key areas of Western sociability that survive to this…

The Culture of Resistance
For the best part of three centuries the material well-being of the western world was dependent on slavery. Yet these systems were mainly brought to a very rapid end. This text surveys the key questions of slavery, and traces the arguments which have swirled around its history in recent years. The latest findings on slavery are presented, and a comparative analysis of slavery in the English-speaking Americas is offered
What Should We Do about Slavery? Slavery, Abolition and Public History
The two hundredth anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in 2007 was marked by a host of British institutions. The Abolition Act of 1807 has been described as the most important Act of Parliament ever. Not surprisingly, many major state and civic institutions offered their own distinctive version of 1807. The Houses of Parliament led the way, followed, among others, by the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the National M…

Slavery, abolition and public history in Britain, the United States and the British Caribbean
Alors que l’esclavage joua dès le XVIIe siècle un rôle majeur dans l’économie britannique, ce ne fut cependant pas avant les années 1990 que ce sujet se retrouva au coeur de l’histoire publique de la nation, et que se rassemblèrent alors historiens, conservateurs de musée et groupes ethniques autour de nouvelles présentations de la question. L’histoire publique de l’esclavage soulève de complexes interrogations, et les représentations muséales qu…
The Slave Trade, Abolition and Public Memory
The bicentenary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act in 1807 prompted a remarkable wave of public commemorations across Britain. In contrast to the low-key events of 1907, 2007 saw a sustained and nation-wide urge to commemorate, publicise and discuss the Atlantic slave trade and its abolition. Government interest proved an important influence, and was reflected in a lively educational debate (resulting in changes to the National Curriculum.) …

Slavery, the Slave Trade and the Churches
The British did not initiate, but they came to dominate the Atlantic slave trade. Few expressed moral or ethical doubts about slavery. The Anglican church, was directly involved in slavery. When a Christian voice was raised against the slave trade, it was led by Quakers who also played a critical role in the campaign to end the slave trade

After being on Shore [ in Havana ] another Twelvemonth, I endeavour’d to make my Escape the second Time, by trying to get on board of a Sloop bound to Jamaica , and as I was going from the City to the Sloop, was unhappily taken by the Guard, and ordered back to the Castle, and there confined. —However, in a short time I was set at Liberty, and order’d with a Number of others to carry the Bishop from the Castle, thro’ the Country, to confirm the o…
Black Society in Eighteenth-Century Britain
In the forty years between the accession of George III and the end of the century, black society in Britain reached its apogee. Yet even by the earliest years of the new century, that society was in decline, under attack from invisible but nonetheless potent demographic forces. But any understanding of Britain’s black population must end, as it began, with the wider problems of Britain’s slave trading empire for it was the history of the slave tr…
Contemporary Accounts of Popular Black Personalities
Billy Waters was one of the best-known of the black London ‘beggars’ — ‘popular entertainers’ might be a far better way of describing many of them. He was a busker outside the Adelphi Theatre in the Strand, living as most of them did in the Parish of St Giles, ‘the Holy Land’, one of the St Giles’ Blackbirds, as they were called. His companion was African Sal, and the two of them were sufficiently famous to be immortalized in Staffordshire potter…
White Responses
Much of the preceding history of black society had been gleaned from what contemporaries said about it. It would in fact be perfectly possible to reconstruct a history solely from such sources. But the study of white responses to black society demands a much more varied investigation for it takes us not merely into the reactions of whites towards blacks living in Britain but also into the infinitely more complex terrain of racial attitudes themse…
Africans in Britain Before the Eighteenth Century
The African diaspora, the enforced scattering of millions of black Africans from their homelands, mostly to the far side of the Atlantic, resulted in the growth of black communities throughout the western world. The main subject of this book is one such community, in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain, with particular attention being paid to the emergence of certain individuals within that community. However, though this disper…
The African Diaspora
The movement of African people from their homelands to the far reaches of the Atlantic empires was to be, in retrospect, the most significant and large-scale enforced movement of peoples in the pre-modern world. The compulsory emigration of black Africans took place over a period of many centuries. If we include the trans-Saharan shipment of Africans to the Mediterranean which became significant in the ninth century, then we are dealing with a mi…
Slavery in Antiquity
Different forms of slavery existed in numerous societies long before the rise of modern European civilisation. That civilisation was born and nurtured in the Mediterranean basin; conceived initially in Greece and later transformed and exported to an ever-widening geographical area by the expansion of the Roman Empire. This Graeco-Roman world, which lasted approximately from 1000 bc to 500 ad, developed in that time from a series of small communit…
