Author Talk

Dr Malik Al Nasir will talk about his new book 'Searching for My Slave Roots: From Guyana's Sugar Plantations to Cambridge'

We are delighted to provide a book stall at this event, organised by the University of Bristol.

Author and award-winning researcher, Malik Al Nasir will be discussing, Searching for my Slave Roots: From Guyana’s Sugar Plantations to Cambridge, a powerful exploration of ancestry, enslavement, and legacy.

Set across Liverpool, Glasgow, Demerara and Berbice, the book traces Malik’s family history, revealing ancestors who were both enslaved and slaveholders, and uncovering the complex interconnections between trauma, privilege, and the institutions shaped by slavery.

The author will be in conversation with Dr Richard Stone.
