A site dedicated to the study of Literature, Imperialism, Postcolonialism

Brycchan Carey is an academic and author specialising in the history and culture of slavery and abolition in the British Empire. This site offers pages dedicated to black British writers before 1850, in particular Ignatius Sancho, Olaudah Equiano, and Ottobah Cugoano, as well as resources for the study of slavery, abolition, and emancipation, British Abolitionists, and e-texts of otherwise difficult-to-obtain texts, such as eighteenth-century poems about slavery. You will also find images and opinions about Cornwall, Brycchan's childhood home, and Gamlingay, Brycchan's current home. Brycchan's most recent book, on the birth of American antislavery, is From Peace to Freedom.
