Sam's guest in this week’s <em>Book Club</em> podcast is the historian Sudhir Hazareesingh, whose new book <em>Daring to Be Free: Rebellion and Resistance of the Enslaved in the Atlantic World</em> reframes the story of Atlantic slavery. He explains why the familiar tale of enlightened Europeans bringing about abolition leaves out the most important voices of all – the enslaved themselves – and how from Africa to Haiti and beyond, traditions of rebellion, resistance and spiritual resilience shaped the struggle for freedom long before Wilberforce or Clarkson entered the picture.
