Reclaiming Resistance: Clay Cane on History, Truth, and Burn Down Master’s House

I’m excited to be joined on the show today by guest author, Clay Cane. On this episode we’re going to talk about his new book, Burn Down Master’s House. Inspired by true, long-suppressed histories of enslaved resistance, Burn Down Master’s Houseinterweaves the lives of men and women across the American South whose quiet–and not so quiet–defiance and bold rebellion ignite a collective uprising. Through friendship, strategic silence, legal battles, and moral corruption, Clay Cane exposes the brutal machinery of slavery while illuminating courage, complicity, and the enduring human fight for justice.
