What are the stakes of once more restoring the slave trade to public memory? What can be learned from this history? Elizabeth Kowaleski Wallace explores these questions in her study of depictions and remembrances of British involvement in the slave trade. Skillfully incorporating a range of material, Wallace discusses and analyzes how museum exhibits, novels, television shows, movies, and a play created and produced in Britain from 1990 to 2000 grappled with the subject of slavery. Topics discussed include a walking tour in the former slave-trading port of Bristol; novels by Caryl Phillips and Barry Unsworth; a television adaptation of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park; and a revival of Aphra Behn's Oroonoko for the Royal Shakespeare Company. In each case, Wallace reveals how these works and performances illuminate and obscure the history of the slave trade and its legacy. While Wallace focuses on Britain, her work also speaks to questions of how the United States and other nations remember inglorious chapters from their past. 606 $aSlave trade$zGreat Britain$xHistory$xPublic opinion 606 $aPublic opinion$zGreat Britain 606 $aSlave trade in literature 606 $aSlavery in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSlave trade$xHistory$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 0$aSlave trade in literature. 615 0$aSlavery in literature. 676 $a306.3620941 700 $aKowaleski-Wallace$b Elizabeth$f1954-$01038177 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451870003321 996 $aThe British slave trade and public memory$92459593 997 $aUNINA
