It Wisnae Us: The Truth About Glasgow and Slavery
Publisher: RIAS
Author: Stephen Mullen
Special Offer: £6 incl. p&p
This book focuses on the buildings and street names of Glasgow's Merchant City and highlights the city's tangible links with slavery. Glasgow street names - Jamaica, Virginia, Buchanan and Glassford - pay tribute to the plantation colonies and the merchants who gained vast fortunes trading with them. Historical exploration also tells the story of why and how Glasgow, the centre of the colonial trade in eighteenth-century Britain, became the fulcrum of the anti-slavery movement in the half century after 1780. Stephen Mullen considers Glasgow's role in both the malaise and the attempted remedy.
