Read by Kris Manjapra and Robin Miles.
To understand why the shadow of slavery still haunts society today, we must not only look at what slavery was, but also the unfinished way it ended. One may think of "emancipation" as a finale, leading to a new age of human rights and universal freedoms. But in reality, emancipations everywhere were incomplete. In Black Ghost of Empire, acclaimed historian and professor Kris Manjapra identifies five types of emancipation, explaining them in chronological order, along with the lasting impact these transitions had on formerly enslaved groups around the Atlantic.
