British Guiana became the most important slave colony in the British Empire following the abolition of the slave trade. Its history and the experience of the slaves who made up the majority of its population is the focus of this project, designed so that rich archival sources will be used to enable slaves to speak directly about their experience. This project is expected to illuminate the character of slavery and slave resistance in an especially profitable but harsh slave society in a late period of slavery. It is intended to explore the alternative kinds of colonisation that were possible in the early nineteenth-century British Empire, to deepen our understanding of slave management in plantation societies and to contribute to the historical analysis of race and slavery.

英属圭亚那在废除奴隶贸易后成为大英帝国最重要的奴隶殖民地。该项目的重点是其历史和占人口大多数的奴隶的经历，其设计目的是利用丰富的档案资源，使奴隶能够直接讲述他们的经历。该项目预计将阐明奴隶制和奴隶抵抗的特点，在一个特别有利可图，但在奴隶制后期残酷的奴隶社会。本书旨在探索19世纪早期大英帝国可能的其他殖民方式，加深我们对种植园社会奴隶管理的理解，并对种族和奴隶制的历史分析做出贡献。
