这篇介绍性的文章讨论了跨三大洲的跨大西洋奴隶贸易的遗产。本书首先调查了关于黄金贸易的历史失忆，这种失忆直到最近才在一些地区得到改善，并以诺贝尔奖得主德里克·沃尔科特（Derek Walcott）和托妮·莫里森（Toni Morrison）的观察为出发点，他们是纪念黄金贸易运动的先锋。这篇文章不仅讨论了传统的纪念碑、步行道和艺术品，还讨论了这一行业的幽灵遗产，包括人体部位。以英格兰兰开斯特的小奴隶港口为主要案例，本文借鉴了最近关于肉体、幽灵、大屠杀研究、创伤、黑暗旅游、黑大西洋和记忆研究的理论工作，来询问这些遗产的意义。黑人代理促成了对奴隶贸易的恐怖的新理解，这可以通过对威廉·威尔斯·布朗在1851年万国博览会上的干预的讨论来证明。这种“游击式的纪念”在历史上和最近的贸易纪念活动中都有所体现。此外，还讨论了在非洲大陆的当代强迫劳动问题之后，它的迫切需要。纪念性景观的最后一节总结了本卷中的文章，并讨论了不同地点之间的联系。通过立法和建立纪念馆来承认历史的法国是奴隶国家的典型案例。南特的新纪念馆是对贸易遗产的重要市政回应，其滨海设计与文章前面讨论的英国城市步道有关。其他有奴隶制历史的地区，如威尔士和毛里求斯，以及纽约的非洲墓地也被介绍了出来。这篇文章在开头的地方结束，在非洲西海岸，对遗产旅游和奴隶城堡海岸奴隶制的复杂遗产进行了反思。
Abstract This introductory essay discusses the legacies of the transatlantic slave trade across three continents. It begins by investigating the historical amnesia about the trade which has only recently and in some geographies been ameliorated, taking as a point of departure observations by Nobel Prize Winners Derek Walcott and Toni Morrison, who were in the vanguard of a movement to memorialise it. The essay moves on to discuss not only traditional memorials, walking trails and artworks, but also ghostly legacies of the trade, including human body parts. Taking the small slave port of Lancaster, England, as a key case study, the essay draws on recent theoretical work on corporeality, spectrality, Holocaust studies, trauma, dark tourism, the Black Atlantic and memory studies to interrogate the meanings of these legacies. The way that black agency contributes to new understandings of the horrors of the slave trade is demonstrated by discussion of William Wells Brown's intervention at the Great Exhibition of 1851. Such “guerrilla memorialisation” is shown at work historically and in recent memorialisations of the trade. Moreover, its urgent need in the wake of contemporary issues of forced labour from the African continent is discussed. The final section on memorial landscapes summarises the essays in this volume and discusses the links between the various locales. France, which is trying to come to terms with its history through legislation and the creation of memorials, is discussed as a slave power case study. The new memorial in Nantes is an important municipal response to the legacy of the trade and by its esplanade design is linked back to the city trails in Britain discussed earlier in the essay. Other geographies with slaving pasts such as Wales and Mauritius are introduced, as well as the African Burial Ground in New York. The essay ends where it started, on the West Coast of Africa, with a reflection on heritage tourism and the complex legacies of slavery on the slave castle coast.
