While memory studies mark a shift from concern with historical knowledge of events to that of memory, the book seeks to bridge the memorial representations of historical events with the production and knowledge of those events. The book offers a methodological and epistemological reflection on the challenges that are raised by archival limitations in relation to slavery and how they can be overcome. It covers topics such as the historical and memorial legacy/ies of slavery, the memorialization of slavery, the canonization and patrimonialization of the memory of slavery, the places and conditions of the production of knowledge on slavery and its circulation, the heritage of slavery and the (re)construction of (collective) identity. By offering fresh perspectives on how slavery-related sites of memory have been retrospectively (re)framed or (re)shaped, the book probes the constraints which determine the inscription of this contentious memory in the public sphere. The volume will serve as a valuable resource in the area of slavery, memory, and Atlantic studies.Routledge studies in the history of the Americas.15.85 history of America(NL-LeOCL)07761190XbclSlaveryAmericaHistorySlave tradeAmericaHistorySlaveryAtlantic Ocean RegionHistorySlave tradeAtlantic Ocean RegionHistoryMemorySocial aspectsAmericaCollective memoryAmericaMemorySocial aspectsAtlantic Ocean RegionCollective memoryAtlantic Ocean Region15.85 history of America.SlaveryHistory.Slave tradeHistory.SlaveryHistory.Slave tradeHistory.MemorySocial aspectsCollective memoryMemorySocial aspectsCollective memory306.362097Aje LawrenceGachon NicolasOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910799922703321Traces and memories of slavery in the Atlantic world3874807UNINA
