Museums and Atlantic Slavery delves into the intricate ways in which slavery, the Atlantic slave trade, and enslaved individuals are portrayed through a diverse array of words, visual images, artifacts, and audiovisual materials in museums across Europe and the Americas. Spanning four chapters, the book explores four recurring themes: wealth and luxury, victimhood and victimization, resistance and rebellion, and resilience and achievement. By examining the roles of various social actors who have played a significant role in introducing slavery into museums over the past thirty years, the analysis draws upon selected exhibitions, institutions dedicated solely to slavery, as well as national, community, plantation, and house museums in the United States, England, France, and Brazil. Drawing upon literature from a wide range of disciplines, including history, anthropology, sociology, art history, tourism, and museum studies, Araujo offers a comprehensive overview of a topic that has yet to receive the attention it deserves within the field of museum studies.
This book serves as a valuable resource for scholars, students, and museum professionals seeking to critically engage with the representations of slavery in museums. It encourages readers to recognize the limitations of depictions of human bondage in these spaces, often perpetuating racism and white supremacy inherited from the period of slavery. By exploring the complexities and nuances of these representations, Museums and Atlantic Slavery contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the historical and cultural significance of slavery and its impact on societies throughout the world.
