🚨Attn Atlanta friends! I will be there on 18 April at A Cappella books. Come join us! Details below: www.acappellabooks.com/pages/events...

Such a lovely time ❤️

Can't wait!!

Celebrating each other’s work. Carrie's got @brookenewman.bsky.social's The Crown’s Silence which explores how British monarchs cultivated transatlantic slavery. Brooke's got @carriegibson.bsky.social's The Great Resistance chronicling the enslaved people who continuously challenged this system.

Now less than a week to go! 🎉 Arizona friends hope to see you there for some great books and amazing conversations ❤️

“It took so much violence to keep slavery in place for 400 years": A Conversation with @carriegibson.bsky.social michaeldeibert.substack.com/p/it-took-so...

In Munich Marco Rubio praised the ‘Western’ tradition of rule of law. Two lessons that he & Trump’s administration could learn about that today. From S. Korea: imprison presidents who flout the constitution. From UK: no one is above the law.

Less than a month to go until the Tucson Festival of Books ❤️So excited for conversations with @renatakeller.bsky.social @tomzoellner.bsky.social and @calebgayle.bsky.social Also looking forward to hearing @mkn.bsky.social Check out the schedule here: tinyurl.com/nhkj2xmp

I go a little into the historiographical deep weeds here, but why not? My latest newsletter: carriegibson.co.uk/2026/02/18/c...

Washington Post is shuttering its book section, part of the ongoing war against literacy & knowledge. We at Current Affairs want to pick up the slack by expanding book reviews. Writers: pitch us anytime! And if you subscribe/donate we'll use the funding to commission book coverage.

There is a lot of doom to scroll. Have a quick break from the madness and sign up for my newsletter (it's only every fortnight and it's free!). carriegibson.co.uk/newsletter/

1/10. Tory peer Daniel Hannan has posted a potted history of slavery that demonstrates how historical understanding is being twisted by politicians. I’ll examine it in light of historians’ research.

Very happy to have received my copy of @carriegibson.bsky.social's The Great Resistance: The 400-Year Fight to End Slavery in the Americas and looking forward to having her as a guest on @notesfromtheworld.bsky.social in a few weeks to discuss it!

In this adapted excerpt from The Crown’s Silence, which examines the royal family’s links with slavery from Elizabeth I to the present, Ottobah Cugoano directly appeals to the monarchy – but is met with silence. www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ja...

Out today: THE CROWN'S SILENCE I'm delighted to share that my new book is officially out! It traces the British monarchy's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade and colonial slavery over hundreds of years. Please buy a copy, tell your library, & spread the word. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Here's a sneak peek at a tiny slice of the research included in my new book, THE CROWN'S SILENCE (available for pre-order now and out tomorrow, 1/27)!!! @marinerbooks.bsky.social #booksky #slaveryarchive www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-...

Ignore the inevitable, instinctive, ad hominem, knee jerk hostility to a book on slavery and the monarchy in the right wing press. This is a better glimpse of @brookenewman.bsky.social’s new book: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

This speaks to me.

'In their ambitious histories of slave resistance, Gibson and Hazareesingh are working in the tradition of Aponte, offering a new intellectual and political perspective on the emergence of freedom in the modern world.' Delighted by this generous review from @soccerpolitics.bsky.social ❤️
