A Great Slave Revolt Up Close: Guyana, 1763

On Sunday, February 27, 1763, thousands of enslaved people in the Dutch colony of Berbice - in present-day Guyana - launched a rebellion that came amazingly close to succeeding. Marjoleine Kars will tell the explosive history of this little-known revolution, one that almost changed the face of the Americas.

Followed by a live audience Q&A.

The Lecture is available on-demand via History Extra between Monday, December 5 and Sunday, December 11, and will become available on the here in early 2023.
