The contested space, formed by the interactions of multiple people and cultures, both Black and white, we now call the Black Atlantic. Cambridge and Cambridgeshire played a key role in this international narrative - a story of commerce, profit and colonialism, of opinion-forming, and of struggle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough the lens of historic artworks, artefacts and natural history specimens, this book and the exhibition it accompanies analyse the rise and growth of enslavement, the profits made by Dutch and British traders and plantation-owners, the power of images, the knowledge produced by enslaved people, histories of resistance movements and the consequences of these events today. Works by contemporary makers challenge long-held assumptions, address erasures, and create alternative narratives of repair, freedom and justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Wilson Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781301234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.49h x 7.61w x 0.48d","brand":"Jake Subryan Richards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43361540341941,"sku":"9781781301234","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c4915956-2c4a-46eb-b922-1af2461a44e6.jpg?v=1701191755","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/black-atlantic-power-people-resistance-9781781301234","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
