Slavery was a large-scale process that put its mark on the African
landscape in tangible ways-for example, through the capture,
transfer, and imprisonment of captives and through the avoidance
strategies that vulnerable communities used against slaving.
Certainly, the expansion of trade routes, the depopulation of
slaved regions, and an increased reliance on defensive architecture
and places of concealment can all be linked to slaving and slavery
in Africa. But how do we view these landscapes of slavery today?
And can archaeology help us? Encompassing studies from Senegal,
Ghana, Mauritius, Tanzania, and Kenya, this volume grapples with
such essential questions. The authors advocate for the power of
archaeology as a tool to disentangle often lengthy and complex
landscape histories that both begin before slavery and continue
after abolition. They also argue for archaeologists' central role
in reimagining how we might remember and commemorate slavery in
places where its history has been forgotten, obscured by European
colonialism, or sanitized and simplified for tourist consumption.
The chapters in this book were originally published in a special
issue of the Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage.
