2024 marks the bi-centenary of the publication of Robert Wedderburn’s unsparing antislavery memoir ‘The Horrors of Slavery’ (1824). This conference uses the occasion to revisit Wedderburn as a crucial figure in transatlantic radicalism, insurrectionism, and abolitionism, exploring not only his works and their importance but the broader "Red and Black Atlantic" of which he was a part. With keynote speakers Hakim Adi and Gary Younge.
