| Sumario: | This book examines the legacies of empire and slave ownership in the memoryscapes of Bath and Bristol. Edited by Christina Horvath and Richard S. White, it offers a critical discourse on how these cities engage with their historical narratives related to slavery. The text explores themes of heritage dissonance, the potential of co-creation, and the use of arts-based approaches to understand and address these legacies. Aimed at historians, sociologists, and those interested in cultural heritage, the book seeks to uncover hidden connections and foster discussion on uncomfortable historical truths. It also highlights contemporary movements like Black Lives Matter in relation to historical activism. |
