African Burial Ground in New York City - Memory, Spirituality, and Space

Informationen zum Autor Andrea E. Frohne is associate professor of African art history at Ohio University with a joint appointment in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the School of Art and Design. Klappentext In 1991, archaeologists in lower Manhattan unearthed a stunning discovery. Buried for more than 200 years was a communal cemetery containing the remains of up to 20,000 people. Capturing the emotional tenor of the time, Frohne narrates the story of the African Burial Ground and the controversies surrounding urban commemoration. She analyses both its colonial and contemporary representations to illuminate the forgotten visual histories of a mostly enslaved population.
