本文认为，在英国伯明翰的奴隶制和废奴的地方和全国性辩论的影响，突出约瑟夫Sturge，十九世纪解放运动的领导人纪念代表的意义。通过解决今天在西米德兰兹郡共存的复杂的流散文化遗产，它认为伯明翰等城市工业遗址往往被不公平地忽视了奴隶制的帐户。为了反驳这种缺失，这篇文章还研究了范利·伯克的《糖衣眼泪》的作品--这是一部当代装置作品，它对抗了伯明翰在提供供应大西洋贸易所需的工业材料方面的共谋。
This article considers the impact of local and national debates about slavery and abolition in Birmingham in the United Kingdom, highlighting the significance of memorialised representations of Joseph Sturge, a leader of nineteenth-century emancipation campaigns. By addressing the complex diasporic cultural heritages that co-exist in the West Midlands today, it argues how urban industrial sites such as Birmingham are often unfairly neglected in accounts of slavery. Contesting this absence, the article also looks at the work of Vanley Burke's ‘Sugar Coated Tears’ – a contemporary installation that confronts Birmingham's complicity in providing the industrial materials needed to supply the Atlantic trade.
