What we’re about
If you like youtube videos by Gad Saad, Triggernometry, Quillette, Spiked!, The Spectator, or Quadrant, you will love this book club.
As a Book Club, people really need to read the book, or try to read the book (or listen to it) before coming.

A Brief History of Slavery: A New Global History by Jeremy Black
Shakespeare Hotel, 200 Devonshire st Surrey Hills, Sydney, AUMeeting at the usual place, The Shakespeare Hotel, 200 Devonshire Street, Surry Hills, at 7.00pm on Thursday January 29, 2026, we will be discussing Slavery: A New Global History by British historian Jeremy Black.
The author discusses the origin of slavery in the ancient world, and how it continues today in the form of trafficking and bonded labour. Black discusses the history of slavery from the uprising of Spartacus to 20th century gulags and concentration camps.
Black charts the British fight for abolition in the 1800s, looking at the lives of campaigners and the enslaved.
The format of the discussion is that we focus on discussing the book for an hour. The meeting formally ends but almost everyone stays behind to talk more about the book or anything else. We meet on the top floor, which means negotiating two sets of small stairs. There is no minimum spend - people can buy food, a drink, or neither. Ask at the bar for details if you can't find us.
The book is easily available from the usual places. Email me for a free pdf at dalemills (at) cantab.net10 attendees
