In the final years before the abolition of slavery in the British Empire, enslaved people in some colonies, including Demerara-Essequibo and Berbice (today’s Guyana) made use of a judicial institution, known as the Fiscal and later as the Protector of Slaves, to try to improve their lives and to seek justice in the face of violence and abuses.

Weaponised Pasts is an interdisciplinary, Leverhulme-funded project examining the evolution of heritage-based hostility online and in the lab, led by Dr Chiara Bonacchi.
