The public memory of slavery and the Atlantic slave trade, which
some years ago could be observed especially in North America, has
slowly emerged into a transnational phenomenon now encompassing
Europe, Africa, and Latin America, and even Asia - allowing the
populations of African descent, organized groups, governments,
non-governmental organizations and societies in these different
regions to individually and collectively update and reconstruct the
slave past.
This edited volume examines the recent transnational emergence
of the public memory of slavery, shedding light on the work of
memory produced by groups of individuals who are descendants of
slaves. The chapters in this book explore how the memory of the
enslaved and slavers is shaped and displayed in the public space
not only in the former slave societies but also in the regions that
provided captives to the former American colonies and European
metropoles. Through the analysis of exhibitions, museums,
monuments, accounts, and public performances, the volume makes
sense of the political stakes involved in the phenomenon of
memorialization of slavery and the slave trade in the public
sphere.
