The Crown's Silence

In this eye-opening audiobook narrated by Allyson Johnson, historian Brooke Newman uncovers the British royal family's deep and often overlooked involvement in the transatlantic slave trade, revealing a legacy that extends from Elizabeth I to modern times. Contrary to the narrative of Britain as an abolitionist nation, Newman highlights the monarchy's financial investments in slavery and its complicity in racial injustices that have shaped both British and American histories. By centering the experiences of those impacted by this oppressive system, Newman sheds light on how the ramifications of slavery continue to influence societal disparities and discrimination today.
