Summary:
"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
