Rum and Revolution

Thursday, April 9
6:30 PM

Ian Williams will talk about the role of rum in the American Revolution and how it was inextricably tied to relations between the Francophone and Anglophone spheres in the Western Hemisphere. Originally from Liverpool and now based in New York, Williams’ varied career has ranged from a drinking competition with Chinese Premier Chou En Lai and arguing English Literature with Madame Mao, to speechwriting for the former British Labour Party leader, and covering the United Nations. Rum: a Social and Sociable History of the Real Spirit of 1776, on the overlooked role of rum in world history was Ian Williams ’s fourth book.
