Zusammenfassung:"'Revisualizing Slavery' explores the history of slavery in Asia by focusing on visual resources. The traditional image of slavery in Asia is shaped and dominated by words such as 'mild', 'debt' and 'household'. But this is shifting with new historical research pointing to the harder sides and similarities to the Atlantic slavery past. What do visual sources actually tell us about this past? What role have these played in traditional imaging? And how can visual sources help to break the visual silence? In 'Revisualizing slavery', historians, heritage specialists and cultural scientists investigate the possibilities of using the versatility, expressiveness and silence of visual sources to view the slavery past in a new light."
