Tell This in My Memory: Stories of Enslavement from Egypt, Sudan, and the Ottoman Empire (Inscribed) - Powell, Eve M. Troutt

INSCRIPTION FROM EVE ON TITLE PAGE; Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Tell This in My Memory opens up a new window in the study of slavery in the modern Middle East, taking up personal narratives of slaves and slave owners to shed light on the anxieties and intimacies of personal experience. The frame work of racial identity constructed through these stories proves instrumental in explaining how countries later confronted - or not - the legacy of the slave trade. Today, these vocabularies of slavery live on for contemporary refugees whose forced migrations often replicate the journeys and stigmas faced by slaves in the 19th century.
