To coincide with today’s bicentenary of the beginning of the Demerara uprising (18 August 1823), I have just published a paper with @HistoryPolicy, co-authored with Dr James Dawkins (Lancaster University).

[Demerara Slave Revolt @Demerara1823]

200 yrs ago today (18 Aug 1823) witnessed the outbreak of the Demerara uprising, as thousands of enslaved people across some forty estates rose up to demand their 'rights' & their 'freedom'. One of the largest & most consequential revolts in the history of the British Caribbean.

Can't wait to read this! Andrew Bogle's portrait is in the @NPGLondon. Have been researching him while looking at the Gallery's legacies of enslavement. He was previously enslaved by the Chandos family who owned the NPG's "Chandos portrait" of Shakespeare. https://t.co/127rqvoIBv
