This groundbreaking book brings together the latest academic research on Britain's involvement in colonial slavery, with innovative thinking on the teaching of 'difficult histories' in the classroom. In so doing, it provides an essential framework for transforming how slavery is conceptualised and taught in British secondary schools by addressing three specific areas of concern. These are: the lack of teacher training on historical content and pedagogical approach; the lack of high-quality, appropriate, research-based resources; and the lack of supporting published material to guide teachers on the principles, knowledge and practice for ethical classroom engagement.

Drawing on insights from a long-term partnership between historians and educators Teaching Slavery: New approaches to Britain?s colonial past combines sophisticated historical analysis with practical pedagogical guidance. The early part of the book offers thorough historiographical examination of key themes, including race, the gendering of slavery, survival, resistance and rethinking abolition. These are followed by detailed guidance on overcoming the challenges of teaching these histories, including exemplar historical enquiries to help teachers establish a classroom where teachers and students can feel more confident in talking about race. Throughout, the authors emphasise the importance of historical specificity and the need to engage critically with Britain's role in colonial slavery.
