Human Resources

Renay Richardson

£18.99


The transatlantic slave trade is too often reduced to a single module in a history course or chapter in a book. But - from the maps we use to the clothes we wear and the science that explains our world - its influence is everywhere. From the creators of the hit podcast, 'Human Resources' explores how the slave trade transformed Britain, through places, objects, institutions, commodities and activities we encounter every day without ever pausing to think about their origins. Taking us into art galleries and sports events, offices and financial institutions, and even our own kitchen cupboards, it reveals the British Empire's true legacy, and how the past connects to the present in shocking and extraordinary ways.
