Unfortunate to hear tired cliches about the moral integrity of white abolitionists in the BBC Reith lecture, while the actual struggle of the enslaved was downplayed. This book will clear up any misconceptions, out 12 Feb: carriegibson.co.uk/books/the-gr... #reith #bbc #history #slavery

Dubious take on British slavery abolition in today's BBC Reith lecture - the Royal Navy freed 200,000 Africans from other nations' slave ships? They didn't take them home: they went to British colonies as exploited labour. @anitaanand.bsky.social @alanlester.bsky.social

Feeling thankful that so many of y'all have let me take up a little (or a lot!) of space on your bookshelves over the past decade or so. ❤️ Hope you're making room for one more 😉 carriegibson.co.uk/books/the-gr... 💙📚#booksky #history #thegreatresistance

Hi everyone (and a big hello to so many new followers 👋). I've been off social media, finishing up my third book — The Great Resistance: The 400-Year Fight to End Slavery in the Americas. It will be with you (US and UK) in February! Don’t worry, I’ll remind you to pre-order it nearer the time 😉

This week on the podcast @carriegibson.bsky.social discusses the women involved in Caribbean slave revolts: who were they, what do we know about them, why don’t we know more & as always, what are the biases that shaped the way their stories are, or are not, told. creators.spotify.com/pod/show/inf...

Take a break from your regularly scheduled doomscrolling and marvel at this clip. A jawdropping feat of editing by Questlove - incredible!

THE meme of 2025 for me.

Hello Bleeps (Bluesky + peeps), quick #history question: looking for works on gender/sexuality in early #Spanish exploration/empire in #Asia – #Philippines but also anything to do with missionaries in #Japan ~16thc. A friend asked me but not really my area, so I'll turn to the experts here. Thanks!
