Description

"First study of contemporary engravings, lithos, and drawings depicts two centuries of slavery in Suriname. Work shows how representation of slaves changed over time: first they were depicted as economic objects; later as exotic human beings. Also gives attention to abolition debate and its influence on contemporary art. This impressive work, placed in a Caribbean and North American context, contains more than 140 illustrations including 28 color plates"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
