Author Dr Rebecca Hall talks powerfully about the resilience and resistance that helped to bring about systemic change and end the institution of slavery. Hosted by Lucy Edematie.

Dr Hall wrote 'Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts', described by The Guardian as "a must-read graphic history of women-led slave revolts".

Here Dr Hall explains that she is “not interested in studying and researching the endless horrors of slavery”. Instead her focus is on how African Americans fought back. Dr Hall discusses the social and political construction of history, the impact of slavery, relevance to the UK, the writing of ‘Wake’ and her future projects.
