Through the lens of a hitherto unstudied repertoire of Dutch
abolitionist theatre productions, Repertoires of Slavery prises
open the conflicting ideological functions of antislavery discourse
within and outside the walls of the theatre and examines the ways
in which abolitionist protesters wielded the strife-ridden question
of slavery to negotiate the meanings of human rights, subjecthood,
and subjection. The book explores how dramatic visions of
antislavery provided a site for (re)mediating a white
metropolitan-and at times a specifically Dutch-identity. It offers
insight into the late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century
theatrical modes, tropes, and scenarios of racialised subjection
and considers them as materials of the "Dutch cultural archive," or
the Dutch "reservoir" of sentiments, knowledge, fantasies, and
beliefs about race and slavery that have shaped the dominant sense
of the Dutch self up to the present day.
