Shadows of the Slave Past

Více o knize

Focusing on the public memory of slavery, this book explores how the Atlantic slave past is commemorated across the Americas, Europe, and Africa. It examines the political struggles of social actors advocating for social justice and the ways in which monuments, memorials, and museums reflect these efforts. Through a transnational and comparative approach, the work investigates the processes of remembering and "heritagizing" slavery in public spaces, shedding light on the ongoing impact of this historical legacy.
