This seminar explores Theophilus Richmond’s journal of the Hesperus, one of the first ships carrying Indian indentured migrants to the Caribbean after the abolition of slavery. Dr Mark Tumbridge will examine the text’s wider context, with particular attention to the enigmatic figure of the Black slave who appears in the journal, and how his presence reshapes understandings of creolization in Guyana.
