Above: Book launch and Q&A with British Black Power Activist Stella Dadzie author of 1980s classic 'Heart of the Race' and new book 'A Kick in the Belly' about Black Female Resistance on Caribbean Plantations

Shocking, enlightening, fascinating, challenging, A Kick in the Belly reframes the overwhelmingly male perspective on the transatlantic slave trade through female experiences and acts of resistance. It is a essential corrective to centuries of sublimation and the presentation of black women who lived through this history as passive victims. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”

– Bernardine Evaristo, author of Girl, Woman, Other

Q&A hosted by Dr Michelle Asantewa . Thursday 12th November 6.30pm online event tickets HERE
