""Myriam Mompoint's ground-breaking work highlights the continuing contemporary relevance of stories about systems of Atlantic enslavement. This important book is essential reading for those seeking to understand the cultural and communal memory of slavery as it has been broadcast on TV in North and South America and the Caribbean. Seeing these TV shows as artefacts of popular culture, as well as stories of imagined lives filling gaps in our knowledge of the experiences of the enslaved, Mompoint adds to our understanding of the ongoing legacy of this cultural, familial and individual trauma."" - Dr Catherine Armstrong, Loughborough University “As we continue to grapple with the legacies of slavery in the Americas, Myriam Mompoint offers a vital insight into the complexity of cultural memory and how it is constructed through the telling and re-telling of stories of trauma, agency and resistance on the small screen. Spanning decades and continents, Televising Transnational Trauma provides a remarkable and critical multi-disciplinary analysis of the ways in which public consciousness continues to be shaped on a global scale.” Dr Lydia Plath, Associate Professor University of Warwick.
