Large Print Book
Black ghost of empire : the long death of slavery and the failure of emancipation / Kris Manjapra.
"Beginning in the 1770s and concluding in the 1880s, different kinds of emancipation processes took place across the Atlantic world. In practice, all the slavery emancipations that have ever taken place reenacted racial violence against Black communities, and reaffirmed commitment to white supremacy. Kris Manjapra shows how, amidst this unfinished history, grassroots Black organizers and activists have become custodians of collective recovery and remedy; not only for our present, but also for our relationship with the past."-- From back cover.
