Better late than never. This lively anthology from a new generation of commentators helps us peer into Pandora's Box with fresh eyes. Politics of Memory is distinctive for the rich diversity of the authors and for its wide geographical sweep. - Peter H. Wood, Professor Emeritus, Duke University and author of Near Andersonville: Winslow Homer's Civil War While there has been much work on re-discovering the historical accounts of slavery, this book is an important addition to scholarship that analyses the reasons for this - the call by descendants of slaves and those with collective memory of slavery for their histories to rank in the national and global story of slavery. Politics of Memory is an excellent account of this. - Stephen Gapps, Historical Dialogues Collectively, we are only just beginning to reflect critically on public representations of race slavery.
