Opis

Museums and Atlantic Slavery explores how slavery, the Atlantic slave trade, and enslaved people are represented through words, visual images, artifacts, and audiovisual materials in museums in Europe and the Americas.

 

Recenzje

It is a direct, compelling reading about a topic of the utmost importance to public historians working today when debates about the public presentation of history are inevitably crisscrossed by demands for representation. The clear question that Araujo asks and proposes to answer is how societies that experienced slavery or participated in the Atlantic slave trade represent these themes in their museums, whether in their permanent collections or in temporary exhibitions.
