Publisher's Synopsis
Black Lives Matter protests have helped shine an unprecedented amount of light onto the dark public spaces nationwide celebrating/commemorating Britain's imperial past. Those Liverpool streets named after individuals who were involved in the Atlantic slave trade have come under ever-sharper scrutiny and are, not unsurprisingly, a target in the crosshairs of anti-racism activists and progressives. 'The Slave Streets of Liverpool' explores the history behind the names of some of today's best-known streets - including the little-known one renamed in honour of an abolitionist.
