TICKETS ON GENERAL SALE FROM 29 AUGUSTMalik Al Nasir – Searching for My Slave Roots – From Guyana’s Sugar Plantations to Cambridge
Miranda Kaufmann – Heiresses – Marriage, Inheritance and Caribbean Slavery
Paul Lashmar, local investigative journalist with a recently published book on slavery, chairs a discussion with a formidable panel of experts in their field. In Searching for my Slave Roots, Malik Al Nasir unravels the legacies of slavery, plantation economics and the wealth of a slaveholding dynasty that he himself descended from – both enslaved people and prominent slaveholders – and the nuanced ways that historic trauma plays down through generations. Miranda Kaufmann reveals the sugar plantations of the Caribbean generated vast wealth, not only for men, but women also. Heiresses exposes how, for almost two centuries, generations of women became enslavers and plantation owners in their own right and brought huge fortunes back to Britain.
In conversation with Paul Lashmar.
