Professor Matthew Smith Inaugural Lecture: 'A Troubled Freedom: Power & Caribbean Memory of Slavery'

Описание к видео Professor Matthew Smith Inaugural Lecture: 'A Troubled Freedom: Power & Caribbean Memory of Slavery'

It took nearly a century for chattel slavery to be abolished in the Caribbean. It took even longer for the countries of the region to become independent of their colonial rulers. The resonances of these two deeply linked processes are indelible, rising more sharply during moments of political and social tension. Drawing on two decades of research, this presentation reflects on how legacies of slavery have been marshalled by various publics since the nineteenth century and considers what collective and political remembrances, especially after decolonization, reveal about the evolution of Caribbean history making.
