This collection responds to the urgent need to contribute to current research on slavery and memory studies by focusing specifically on the Francophone world. Featuring the scholarship of leading academics in France, Britain, the United States and Canada, the collection reflects upon contemporary commemorative practices that relate to the history of slavery and the slave trade, and questions how they function in relationship to other, less memorialized histories of exploitation, such as indentured and forced labour. The volume is set against the context of France's growing body of memory legislation, as well as its close cultural and political connections to its former empire, all of which make it an influential player in how slavery continues to be memorialized and conceptualized in the public sphere. Contributors retrace and redraw the narrative map of slavery and its legacies in the Francophone world through a comparative understanding of how these different, but interconnected forms of labour exploitation have been remembered and/or forgotten from European, West African, Indian Ocean and Caribbean perspectives. 410 0$aFrancophone postcolonial studies ;$vnew ser., v. 6. 606 $aSlavery$xHistory 606 $aSlavery$zAfrica$xHistory 606 $aSlavery$zCaribbean Area$xHistory 607 $aFrance$xColonies$zAfrica$xHistory 607 $aFrance$xColonies$zCaribbean Area$xHistory 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory. 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory. 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory. 676 $a306.3/62/0917541 702 $aFrith$b Nicola$f1974- 702 $aHodgson$b Kate 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794894403321 996 $aAt the limits of memory$93822917 997 $aUNINA
