Dean Bravo's Latest Book Expands on Multidisciplinary Initiative
06/13/2023
The latest book to emerge from the Slavery Past, Present, and Future project has been published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. IU McKinney Dean Karen E. Bravo, who founded and serves as one of the leaders of the project, is one of the editors of “Legacies of Slavery and Contemporary Resistance.”
The work explores how slavery and the past are interconnected, noting there is a tension between a former time of human subjugation and the time after when the person’s captivity can still be remembered. The work also argues that the existence of slavery, in modern forms, offers continuing evidence of man’s inhumanity to man and the resulting absence of freedom for millions of people.
“It is exciting and gratifying to participate in and shepherd another edited volume emerging from the Slavery Past, Present, and Future project,” Dean Bravo said. “The opportunity to collaborate with and learn from scholars across several disciplines in addressing these important issues continues to be a fulfilling learning experience.”
The seventh Slavery Past, Present, and Future global conference will take place in Accra, Ghana, in July 2023.
