Writers Priyamvada Gopal and Salil Tripathi talk about about Priyamvada’s latest book, Insurgent Empire: How rebellious slave colonies changed British attitudes to Empire (2019).
Insurgent Empire shows how Britain’s enslaved and colonial subjects were active agents in their own liberation. What is more, they shaped British ideas of freedom and emancipation back in the United Kingdom.
