A deeply rooted familial story excavating colonial slavery and exposing the layers of oppression and exploitation then and now. When Douglas Glover's mother told him their Scottish ancestor was the "youngest planter in the British Empire indemnified for freeing his slaves," he felt uneasy pride--and a child's confusion. Present at the Slaughter is the story of what happened when he decided to find out what those words really meant. Moving between colonial archives, slave registries, family lore, and fieldwork in Grenada and Carriacou, Glover reconstructs the lives of his Scottish ancestors and dozens of enslaved people they owned. These slave biographies--spare, factual, often heartbreaking--form the deep structure of the book. "The counter story," he writes, "is the weight of blackness." What emerges is not a story of guilt or denial, but something stranger and more revealing: how the memory of slavery can be preserved without remorse, passed down not as shame but as family legend. Glover examines this moral indifference not to condemn his ancestors (though their actions certainly deserve condemnation), but to understand how ordinary people accommodate themselves to atrocity--by adjusting tone, suppressing judgment, or aestheticizing the past. In so doing, he also reflects on the evasions of our own time, and on the seductive ease with which oppression and exploitation are made acceptable. The result is a work of layered witness and unsettling intimacy--rooted in research, animated by self-doubt, and driven by a restless moral intelligence.
