Conclusion. -- DESCRIPTION: This groundbreaking work provides an invaluable addition to the limited literature now available on the visual images associated with slavery and abolition, integrated into a sophisticated analysis of their meaning and legacy today. Moving deftly between text and image, Marcus Wood examines paintings, woodcuts, diaries, nineteenth century short stories and twentieth century criticism. Though much has been written on the institution of slavery, rarely are the images subject to the sort of close reading applied to written sources. There are grand narratives on large academic canvases, and there are heroic sculptures and friezes, almost always built to commemorate the emancipation moment. The question remains: are they adequate, or even decent, tools for memory ? This book tries to find ways of reading images which emerge as ever more contradictory in terms of what they say about white representation of slavery, and what they imply for black and white understanding of this inheritance. Throughout this important volume, the author underscores two vital themes: one, that visual presentation of slavery in England and American has been utterly dishonest to its subject, and the other a meditation on whether the ruptures of the slave experience - middle passage, bondage, and torture -- can be adequately represented and remembered. As the author writes, "This history is not over, and is evolving. The hope is that the visual representation of slavery will not continue to be unseen, that the disguises we impose on what we look at must be seen beyond." -- Library Journal * "This is an erudite yet remarkably engaging examination of the visual representation of slavery in Europe and North America in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Wood (English, Sussex Univ. , UK) includes a variety of materials, ranging from sophisticated oil paintings to crude woodcuts, based on their influence, popularity, and longevity. Many of the illustrations will be familiar, but Wood does not assume that they speak for themselves and examines them in a new light. He addresses the semiotic codes used to represent slavery and explains how they came to symbolize cultural memory. This study focuses on four areas: the middle passage, the iconography of slave escape, Uncle Tom's Cabin, and the torture and punishment of slaves. It does not include images of slave rebellion, day-to-day slave life, the slave trade itself, or emancipation. The images are both compelling and repulsive in their exploration of how memory is organized and visually depicted. An excellent bibliography further enhances this groundbreaking work. Very highly recommended for academic collections." DDaniel Liestman, Kansas State Univ. Lib. , * * FS REVIEW: Another study of the subject with an agenda; mere objective facts will not do. And, then, why bother with understanding the true nature and origins of slavery, and the justifications used for it? The fact is, today slavery is and ought to be perfectly legal in every civilized nation of the world---to borrow Hume's way of putting things--only we ignore this inconvenient fact. We suffer from blind pride in the achievement of 1807 and 1865. Scholars such as Wood further suffer from the incurable delusion that images dictate reality rather than the reverse. Perhaps that is why they ignore the very facts, and reality, without which this subject cannot be seriously addressed. -- with a bonus offer--; R520-woodm2; Wood, Marcus Blind Memory: Visual Representations of Slavery in England and America, 1780-1865 (SLAVE TRADE, ART HISTORY BLACKS ART SLAVERY GREAT BRITAIN This groundbreaking work provides an invaluable addition to the limited literature now available on t.
