Books in the Liverpool Studies in International Slavery series

This new study brings to life the unique contribution of French women during the early nineteenth century, a key period in the history of colonialism and slavery. It offers in-depth readings of works by five antislavery writers - Germaine de Stael, Claire Duras, Marceline Desbordes-Valmore, Charlotte Dard and Sophie Doin.

This collection brings together local case studies of Britain's history and memory of transatlantic slavery and abolition, including the role of individuals and families, regional identity narratives, sites of memory and forgetting, and the financial, architectural and social legacies of slave-ownership.

This book adopts a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective to investigate the experimental bodies of works produced by African, African American, African Caribbean and Black British artists in order to excavate and theorise the formal and thematic contours of an African Diasporic visual arts tradition.
