Has history overlooked the enslaved who fought for freedom? | Sudhir Hazareesingh interview
1Description
The abolition of the slave trade and of slavery itself in the 19th Century is generally understood to have been instigated by European and American abolitionists.
However, has history overlooked how the enslaved themselves resisted their oppressors?
Author and politics tutor at Oxford University, Sudhir Hazareesingh, has explored these stories of resistance in his new book Daring to be Free.
Sudhir Hazareesingh discusses his findings with Tanjil Rashid.
