The Slavery Business and its Contested Legacies

The legacies of slavery are contested both in the heartlands of the erstwhile European empires and in those countries once colonised. Wayne Modest (Professor of Material Culture and Critical Heritage Studies, University of Amsterdam) & Catherine Hall (Emerita Professor of History, UCL) will discuss some of these different trajectories in the Netherlands, the UK and Jamaica.

Running order:

•  2 - 3.30pm: conversation
•  4 - 5pm: panel discussion  

This conversation is part of an ongoing series on Heritage and Politics organised by Mike Rowlands (UCL Anthropology) and Dan Hicks (University of Oxford/Pitt Rivers Museum) and supported by IAS.
