When Thomas Harding discovered that his family had profited from
slavery, he set out to interrogate the choices of his ancestors and
Britain's role in this terrible history. His investigation took him
to Demerara (now Guyana), the site of an uprising by enslaved
people in 1823, the largest in the British Empire and a key trigger
in the abolition of slavery. Charting the dramatic build-up to this
landmark event through the eyes of four people - an enslaved man, a
missionary, a colonist, and a slaveholder - Harding lays bare the
true impact of years of unimaginable cruelty and incredible courage
and asks how those who benefitted from slavery can take
responsibility for the White Debt.
