Since the election of President Barack Obama, many pundits have
declared that we are living in a ""post-racial America,"" a culture
where the legacy of slavery has been erased. The essays in this
collection, however, point to a resurgence of the theme of slavery
in American cultural artifacts from the late twentieth- and
twenty-first centuries. Ranging from disciplines as diverse as
African American studies, film and television, architectural
studies, and science fiction, the pieces provide a provocative look
into how and why slavery continues to recur as a trope in American
popular culture. By exploring how authors, filmmakers, historians,
and others engage and challenge the narrative of American slavery,
this volume invites further study of slavery in its contemporary
forms of human trafficking and forced labor and challenges the
misconception that slavery is an event of the past.
