The Cundill Lecture in History: A Great Slave Revolt Up Close: Guyana, 1763

On Sunday 27 February 1763, thousands of enslaved people in the Dutch colony of Berbice – in present-day Guyana – launched a rebellion that came amazingly close to succeeding.

In this on-demand lecture, Marjoleine Kars will tell the explosive history of this little-known revolution, one that almost changed the face of the Americas. Followed by a live audience Q&A.

Available on-demand between Monday 5 December and Sunday 11 December.
