Dr. Lila Chambers, research fellow at Gonville and Cauis College, Cambridge, joins Shea Hendry and Hugh Wood to discuss her upcoming book, Liquid Capital: Alcohol and the Rise of Slavery in the British Atlantic, 1580-1737. Lila's research traces the intertwined development of political economy, diplomacy, and race in West Africa, the Caribbean, the British Isles, and North America between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. We discuss drinking practices amongst colonial elites and the enslaved, ritual oaths, and the power of consumption.
