Lisa Williams’ book list: 

Already stocked in Edinburgh Central Library (on the opposite side of George IV Bridge from the church): 

• Akala: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire 
• Emma Dabiri:  What White People Can Do Next 
• Alex Renton:  Blood Legacy 
• Alex Wheatle:  Cane Warriors 
• Kojo Karam:  Uncommon Wealth 
• Marika Sherwood: After Abolition 

And Central Library has agreed to buy in: 

• Hilary Beckles:  Britain’s Black Debt 
• David Alston:  Slaves and Highlanders 
• C. Hall: Legacies of Slave Ownership 
• T.M. Devine: Recovering Scotland’s Slavery Past 

These last four may take a few weeks to arrive in the library, but all these books are in print. 

You don’t have to read a book to join the discussions. You could watch a video, do some online research, go to the museum… and e.g. find out about a particular enslaved person, a Caribbean nation, Edinburgh statues/ street names, slave owners, a particular building…  We aim to start the group in September so there’s plenty of time to do a little research!
