The afterlives of Caribbean slavery
Join the Legacy of Slavery Working Party as historian Catherine Hall explores the profound mark that Caribbean plantation slavery left on Britain.
In this talk, Professor Hall will focus on the entangled histories of England and Jamaica. She will discuss both the wealth produced by the enslaved for the metropole and the ideas, rooted in plantation life, about racial difference and inequality.
