Sample Book Insights:
#1 I began to realize that racism was not just about personal prejudice, but about the ability to negatively affect another person’s life chances. I began to resent my friend, who seemed to feel that this section of British history was irrelevant to her.
#2 The Abolition of Slavery Act was introduced in the British Empire in 1833, less than two hundred years ago. Slavery existed for much longer than it has been abolished, and generation after generation of black lives were stolen.
#3 Slavery was not just happening in Liverpool, but also in Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth, and many other British cities. The majority of the colonies in the Caribbean were owned by British people, who saw money without blood.
#4 The history of blackness in Britain has been a piecemeal one. For an embarrassingly long time, I didn’t even realize that black people had been slaves in Britain.
