Case studies illuminate the lives of activists, advocates and
aggressors, helping to bring the history to life, and focusing on
Black voices who played a significant role in abolishing slavery
and were prominent in political struggles, but have been written
out of the narrative. In conjunction with both the National Justice
Museum and National Archives, the author is going to be using
digital storytelling to explore, interpret, and narrate insights
relating to the book (video-narratives, digital media, recorded
voice/audio, still and moving images/video clips, music etc). The
proposed book offers something that currently does not exist on the
academic book market and as such could be a classic text across,
and connecting, criminology, history and sociology. It adds to a
more complete picture of British social history. It promises to
fill invisible stories and contexts around black lives and their
representation in histories of crime and punishment connected to
Britain. In doing so the proposal is answering a call made by
serious scholars of black British history and criminology like
Coretta Phillips, Paul Gilroy, Biko Agozino and David Olusoga. This
book is unique in that it fits in multiple subject areas. It fills
a space in criminology and also fits the fields of historical and
political sociology. It will also have relevance for the field of
Caribbean Studies, Law, Critical Race Studies and Black Studies.
The subject matter of this book links to any nation and region
connected and touched by British Colonialism and Slavery, including
North America (USA and Canada), the Anglo Caribbean, Africa and
other regions where there are ex British colonies. The book offers
a reckoning with the problematic history of the disciplines of
Criminology and History and ties into a feeling of the times for
this revisiting the past to better reflect issues of race and
racism. The gathering urgency around all questions of race, racism
and criminal justice will help to propel the book's appeal beyond
criminology and conventional academic audiences. It can find an
audience/readership in museums, among museum visitors, museum
studies and archivists, social movement activists, campaigners and
criminal justice reform organisations. This book could become an
important resource across the HE sector, but particularly within
criminology and history, and in efforts to de-colonise the
curriculum. The growth of interest in, and influence of, African
scholars will extend the reach and appeal of the book.
