Today, its financial, architectural and societal legacies remain, scattered across the country in museums and memorials, philanthropic institutions and civic buildings, empty spaces and unmarked graves. Just as they did in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, British people continue to make sense of this 'national sin' by looking close to home, drawing on local histories and myths to negotiate their relationship to the distant horrors of the 'Middle Passage', and the Caribbean plantation. For the first time, this collection brings together localised case studies of Britain's history and memory of its involvement in the transatlantic slave trade, and slavery. These essays, ranging in focus from eighteenth-century Liverpool to twenty-first-century rural Cambridgeshire, from racist ideologues to Methodist preachers, examine how transatlantic slavery impacted on, and continues to impact, people and places across Britain.Liverpool studies in international slavery ;11.Slave tradeGreat BritainHistorySlave tradeGreat BritainHistoryPublic opinionGreat BritainfastGrossbritanniengndHistory.fastSlave tradeHistory.Slave tradeHistoryPublic opinion.306.3620941Donington KatieHanley RyanMoody JessicaUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910792576303321Britain's history and memory of transatlantic slavery3741103UNINA
