Born to an enslaved woman and a slavemaster in Jamaica, and moving in the radical working-class circles of London, Wedderburn made his name as a fiery political writer and orator--before dying, forgotten, in poverty. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Among the few abolitionists bold enough to publicly call for the enslaved in the British West Indies to rise up and violently overthrow their colonial \"masters,\" Wedderburn was also among the most outspoken and--amid an increasingly repressive British establishment--dangerous advocates for domestic political reform and working-class rights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From award-winning scholar Ryan Hanley, this is the first full-length biography of a man increasingly recognized as central to Black radical political thought in the Revolutionary Atlantic. Tapping newly rediscovered sources, Hanley details Wedderburn's extraordinary public and private life, explores the central influence of enslaved women on his political ideas, and offers fresh analysis of his contributions to British political thought and activism.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRyan Hanley\u003c\/b\u003e is lecturer in modern British history at the University of Exeter.
