This powerful collection of essays brought to life with more than 150 illustrations investigates the intertwined legacies of slavery, colonialism, and freedom. In Slavery’s Wake frames the history of slavery in a global context to show how it created systems of oppression that continue to shape the world today.
Compelling essays from key historians and scholars trace the contemporary resonances of slavery but also the history of freedom-making, from abolitionism to enslaved and colonized people asserting their humanity to the Black Lives Matter movement.
