An important illustrated history of the relationship between
Cambridge and the Black Atlantic. Between 1400 and 1900, European
powers, not least Britain, colonised the Americas and transported
over 12.5 million people from sub-Saharan Africa as slaves. The
contested space, formed by the interactions of multiple people and
cultures, both Black and white, we now call the Black Atlantic.
Cambridge and Cambridgeshire played a key role in this
international narrative – a story of commerce, profit and
colonialism, of opinion-forming, and of struggle. Through the lens
of historic artworks, artefacts and natural history specimens, this
book and the exhibition it accompanies analyse the rise and growth
of enslavement, the profits made by Dutch and British traders and
plantation-owners, the power of images, the knowledge produced by
enslaved people, histories of resistance movements and the
consequences of these events today. Works by contemporary makers
challenge long-held assumptions, address erasures, and create
alternative narratives of repair, freedom and justice.
