LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE 'An incredible work of
scholarship' Sathnam Sanghera Through the story of his own family's
history as slave and plantation owners, Alex Renton looks at how we
owe it to the present to understand the legacy of the past. When
British Caribbean slavery was abolished across most of the British
Empire in 1833, it was not the newly liberated who received
compensation, but the tens of thousands of enslavers who were paid
millions of pounds in government money. The descendants of some of
those slave owners are among the wealthiest and most powerful
people in Britain today. Blood Legacy explores what inheritance -
political, economic, moral and spiritual - has been passed to the
descendants of the slave owners and the descendants of the
enslaved. He also asks, crucially, how the former - himself among
them - can begin to make reparations for the past.
