SUMMARY:Livestream - Chinese Tea and American Rebels: The Global Origins of the Revolutionary Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Watch live online as historian Nick Bunker delivers the annual George Rogers Clark Lecture. Drawing on his book\, An Empire on the Edge\, a 2015 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for History\, this lecture reexamines the Boston Tea Party and the onset of the revolution in Massachusetts in 1774\, and places them in their global context. Making connections between events in China\, India\, London\, and America\, Bunker discusses how Britain’s commercial dynamism outstripped its political imagination and how a 1772 banking crisis set in motion the fateful process that would lead to the outbreak of war at Lexington three years later. \nPresented annually since 1975\, the George Rogers Clark Lecture recognizes the scholarship of leading historians of the American Revolution. Recent Clark Lecturers include Rick Atkinson\, Kathleen DuVal\, Andrew O’Shaughnessy\, and Maya Jasanoff. \nHow To Watch\nThe lecture will last approximately one hour and will be broadcast live on our YouTube channel starting at 6:30 p.m. EST on Friday\, October 28\, 2022. No registration is necessary to watch the livestream. \nWatch the Livestream Here\n\n  \nAbout the Speaker\nNick Bunker is the author of three books about American history: An Empire on the Edge: How Britain Came to Fight America (Penguin Random House\, 2014); Making Haste From Babylon: The Mayflower Pilgrims and Their World (Penguin Random House\, 2010); and Young Benjamin Franklin: The Birth of Ingenuity  (Penguin Random House\, 2018). A graduate of King’s College\, Cambridge\, and Columbia University\, Bunker began his career as a journalist for the Liverpool Echo and the Financial Times. Later he worked in the stock market in  London\, chiefly for the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation\, before becoming a full time writer. His fourth book—In the Shadow of Fear: America and The World in 1950—will be published in the United States by Basic Books in the fall of 2023. It will tell the story of  ten eventful months in America and overseas between the first Soviet test of an atomic bomb in 1949 and North Korea’s invasion of its southern neighbor. \n
