Shackled Sentiments focuses on the memories and embodiments of slavery through case studies from western, eastern, and central Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. The contributors to this collection examine the ways that memories of slavery have been internalized. Slavery and memory are assessed from multiple perspectives: as sets of ritual practices, community-based systems of spirit veneration, mechanisms of resistance and national pride, sacred languages informing personhood, and instruments for healing and well-being. This book is recommended for scholars of anthropology, history, religion, art, and linguistics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShackled Sentiments is a most welcome, unique, and important book. This collection provides an international and interdisciplinary approach to one of the gravest and most haunting of all human conditions or crimes: slavery. Eric Montgomery is to be resoundingly applauded for culling expert voices from throughout the Atlantic world to offer in a single collection the fine chapters on offer in Shackled Sentiments. In addition to providing readers with new knowledge about slavery, this volume offers compelling new insights about the historical and geographic reaches, ramifications, and contours of slavery, and it should inspire deep humanistic reflection not just on this topic but about our very existence as a species. -- Terry Rey, Temple University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: American Women Anthropologists of the 20th Century on Haitian Vodou: A Brief Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatacha Giafferi-Dombre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Vodou as the Embryo and Marker of Haitian Socio-Historical Identity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNixon Cleophat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Remembering Our Mothers: Black Women, Slavery, and Maternal Power in Barbados and Jamaica\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaureen Elgersman Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: The Past is Present: Slavery, Personhood, and Mimesis in Ewe Gorovodu and Mama Tchamba (Togo)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEric Montgomery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Slavery, Possession and Witchcraft in the Sudan: The Journey of the Zar Tumbura Cult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGerasimos Makris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Living with the Ghosts of Slavery in Western Eweland: Taming Ancestral Energies and Creating Ritual Cultures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeera Venkatachalam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Possession, Power, and Slavery in Eastern Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeatrice Nicolini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Slavery and Its Discontents: Shackled History as Spiritual Resources in Jamaica\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristian Vannier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: The Language of the Slave Spirits in Brazil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaura Alvarez Lopez\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040846905687,"sku":"9781498586009","price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498586009.jpg?v=1750948040","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/shackled-sentiments-9781498586009","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
