Sinopsis
Remembering Enslavement explores plantation
museums as sites for contesting and reforming
public interpretations of slavery in the American
South. Emerging out of a three- year National
Science Foundation grant (2014821117, the book
turns a critical eye toward the growing
inclusion of the formerly enslaved within these
museums, specifically examining advances but
also continuing inequalities in how they narrate
and memorialize the formerly enslaved.Using
assemblage theory as a framework, Remembering
Enslavement offers an innovative approach for
studying heritage sites, retelling and remapping
the ways that slavery and the enslaved are
included in southern plantation museums.It
examines multiple plantation sites across
geographic areas, considering the experiences of
a diversity of actors tourists, museum
managers/owners, and tour guides/interpreters.
This approach allows for an understanding of
regional variations among plantation museums,
narratives, and performances, as well as more
in-depth study of the plantation tour experience
and public interpretations. The authors conclude
the book with a set of questions designed to
help professionals reassemble plantation museum
narratives and landscapes to more justly
position the formerly enslaved at their center.
