9781138200722: Shadows of the Slave Past

Synopsis

Over the last twenty years, the Atlantic slave past has received increased attention in the Americas, Europe, and Africa. The rise of the public memory of slavery resulted from the political struggle of social actors fighting for social justice or seeking to occupy the public arena, sometimes in order to obtain political gains. Relying on transnational and comparative examination of monuments, memorials, and museums located in various regions of the Americas, Europe, and Africa, this book seeks to understand how slavery and the Atlantic slave trade are remembered, commemorated, and "heritagized" in the public space.
