The ramifications of the trans-Saharan, trans-Atlantic, Indian
Ocean, and domestic African slave trades are immeasurable, and they
continue to disaffect black people from Africa to Haiti and Los
Angeles to Lagos. Shackled Sentiments focuses on the memories and
embodiments of slavery through case studies from western, eastern,
and central Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. The
contributors to this collection examine the ways that memories of
slavery have been internalized. Slavery and memory are assessed
from multiple perspectives: as sets of ritual practices,
community-based systems of spirit veneration, mechanisms of
resistance and national pride, sacred languages informing
personhood, and instruments for healing and well-being. This book
is recommended for scholars of anthropology, history, religion,
art, and linguistics.
