Facing up to the past: Perspectives on the commemoration of slavery from Africa, the Americas and Europe
Facing up to the Past offers a heavily revised English-language version of Het verleden ander ogen. To enhance global under- standing, most contributions from outside the sphere of the Netherlands have been maintained, while most of choose centering on the Netherlands and its former colonies have been replaced by new contributions particularly from Africa. Written by eminent scholars and opinion leaders, Facing up to the Past offers refreshing insights into the manifold ways in which the slave trade and slavery are remembered and commemorated or suppressed as part of the national identity in the three continenta forever con- nected by the legacies of the triangular trade In addition, the book offers food for reflection on the wider question of how a painful past is used--and sometimes misused-in contemporary national ideologies and identity politics.
