Bailey argues that, like victims of trauma, many African societies now experience a fragmented view of their past that partially explains the blanket of silence and shame around the slave trade.

In this unprecedented and revelatory book, Bailey explores the delicate and fragmented nature of historical memory. "From the Trade Paperback edition." |
