On February 21, 1803, Colonel Edward (Ned) Marcus Despard was publicly hanged and decapitated in London before a crowd of 20,000 for organizing a revolutionary conspiracy to overthrow King George III. His black Caribbean wife, Catherine (Kate), helped to write his gallows speech in which he proclaimed that he was a friend to the poor and oppressed. He expressed trust that &ldquo;the principles of freedom, of humanity, and of justice will triumph over falsehood, tyranny, and delusion.&rdquo;<BR /> &#160;<BR /> And yet the world turned. From the connected events of the American, French, Haitian, and failed Irish Revolutions, to the Anthropocene&rsquo;s birth amidst enclosures, war-making global capitalism, slave labor plantations, and factory machine production,&#160;<I>Red Round Globe Hot Burning</I>&#160;throws readers into&#160;<I>the</I>&#160;pivotal moment of the last two millennia.
