Montgomery, Nixon Cleophat, Natacha Giafferi-Dombre, Maureen Elgersman Lee, Laura ?lvarez L?pez, Gerasimos Makris, Christian Vannier, Meera Venkatchalam Format: Hardback Publisher: Lexington Books, United States Imprint: Lexington Books ISBN-13: 9781498585989, 978-1498585989 Synopsis The ramifications of the trans-Saharan, trans-Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and domestic African slave trades are immeasurable, and they continue to disaffect black people from Africa to Haiti and Los Angeles to Lagos. Shackled Sentiments focuses on the memories and embodiments of slavery through case studies from western, eastern, and central Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. The contributors to this collection examine the ways that memories of slavery have been internalized. Slavery and memory are assessed from multiple perspectives: as sets of ritual practices, community-based systems of spirit veneration, mechanisms of resistance and national pride, sacred languages informing personhood, and instruments for healing and well-being. This book is recommended for scholars of anthropology, history, religion, art, and linguistics.
