Black People in the British Empire

Focusing on the exploitation of Black people within the British Empire, the book reveals how racism justified colonial expansion and oppression. It highlights the connection between the British Industrial Revolution and profits from the slave trade, as well as the deliberate de-industrialization of colonies to benefit British manufacturers. By detailing the scale of revolts against slavery and the brutal responses to them, it challenges the traditional narrative of British history and emphasizes the significant role of Black individuals in shaping that past.
