"Myriam Mompoint's ground-breaking work highlights the continuing contemporary relevance of stories about systems of Atlantic enslavement. This important book is essential reading for those seeking to understand the cultural and communal memory of slavery as it has been broadcast on TV in North and South America and the Caribbean. Seeing these TV shows as artefacts of popular culture, as well as stories of imagined lives filling gaps in our knowledge of the experiences of the enslaved, Mompoint adds to our understanding of the ongoing legacy of this cultural, familial and individual trauma."Dr Catherine Armstrong, Loughborough University
