As someone no longer in full-time research, I wasn't sure I'd get this over the line, but here it is!
This is my modest effort to (re)write Brazil into the history of Britain's involvement with transatlantic slavery.
Too many people to thank here but you know who you are!
Just released! Looks beyond the British Empire and the Slavery Abolition Act to focus on Brazil as the final frontier of Britain’s centuries-long involvement with transatlantic slavery. See here ➡️ tinyurl.com/3d6d37wy @joemmulhern @durham_uni #HistoryOfSlavery #AnthemPress

Read about how British companies profited from slavery in Brazil long after abolition, from our History Honorary Fellow @JoeMulherm, in @guardian.

A couple of years after we featured on the same episode of the Guardian's Cotton Capital podcast, I had the pleasure to speak to @TiagoRogero about my book on British Entanglement with Brazilian Slavery (@AnthemPress, Feb 26).
Gratidão. Boa leitura!

‘These connections are overlooked’: how British companies profited from slavery in Brazil long after abolition
Britons learn about the country’s involvement ‘almost as a self-congratulatory narrative’, says historian Joseph Mulhern

And here's a link to that episode in case you missed it at the time: theguardian.com/news/audio/2…
Many thanks! Being able to maintain a link to the excellent research community at @durham_uni was so important as my career took a different path.
Hoping to get back sooner rather than later to discuss the book and catch up with old friends!
Congratulations to our @durham_history Honorary Fellow @joemmulhern on his new book British Entanglement with Brazilian Slavery👏

My first and very minor foray into digital humanities is this dataset and accompanying article in the Journal of Slavery and Data Preservation. This issue has some great resources for research and teaching on Brazilian slavery! @EnslavedOrg jsdp.enslaved.org/fullDataAr…

O episódio 4 de Cotton Capital enfoca a escravidão no Brasil.
@JoeMMulhern contribui para o debate sobre o papel dos comerciantes britânicos como fornecedores do tráfico de escravos e como proprietários de escravos no Brasil, muito além de 1807 ou 1833.

Have been quite impressed by Flávio Dino's handling of the aftermath of yesterday's attack on Brazilian democracy. Some of his finest work since helping to launch Magnífica 🍻 🇧🇷

New MA research scholarship to study the environmental impacts of slavery in Guinea-Bissau and Portugal. Grantee will be working with me and colleagues in the @UniarqU @ArcDurham project “Ecologies of Freedom” funded by @fct_pt 1/ – at Vila Franca de Xira, Portugal
Pleased to contribute to this article on John Bramley-Moore and his deep entanglement with slavery in Brazil. @Simon_Hughes__'s deep-dive explores the history and modern-day legacies, including the site of Everton FC's new stadium. (£ paywall)
John Bramley-Moore was a slave owner who profited from the trade long after it was outlawed by Britain. He also gives his name to the dock where Everton's stadium is being built
@Simon_Hughes__ explores how #EFC can address an inherited history that is now a part of their future

Legal ver também que agora deram o nome temporário de Everton Stadium. Estavam usando muito um nome com ligações a um passado triste na história da cidade, algo que expliquei melhor na reportagem aqui 👇🏽

British journalist @domphillips is missing in Amazônia. He was researching a book on Models for Preserving the Rainforest. He won a grant from the @APFFoundation to write the book. He and his traveling partner, explorer Bruno Pereira, were last seen on Sunday morning.
Looking forward to this panel discussion today @Canning_House. I'll be speaking about British banking's entanglement with slavery in Brazil. @CJCampbell123 and @cevans3 work has been vital in shaping my own research so looking forward to finally meeting them!
