The Persistence of Memory is a history of the public memory of transatlantic slavery in the largest slave-trading port city in Europe, from the end of the 18th century into the 21st century; from history to memory. Mapping this public memory over more than two centuries reveals the ways inwhich dissonant pasts, rather than being "forgotten histories", persist over time as a contested public debate. This public memory, intimately intertwined with constructions of "place" and "identity", has been shaped by legacies of transatlantic slavery itself, as well as other events, contexts andphenomena along its trajectory, revealing the ways in which current narratives and debate around difficult histories have histories of their own. By the 21st century, Liverpool, once the "slaving capital of the world", had more permanent and long-lasting memory work relating to transatlantic slaverythan any other British city. The long history of how Liverpool, home to Britain's oldest continuous black presence, has publicly "remembered" its own slaving past, how this has changed over time and why, is of central significance and relevance to current and ongoing efforts to face contestedhistories, particularly those surrounding race, slavery and empire.

"The essays in this book demonstrate the importance of transatlantic and intra-American slave trafficking in the development of colonial Spanish America, highlighting the Spanish colonies' previously underestimated significance within the broader history of the slave trade. Spanish America not only received African captives directly via the transatlantic slave trade but also from slave markets in the Portuguese, English, Dutch, French, and Danish Americas, ultimately absorbing more enslaved Africans than any other imperial jurisdiction in the Americas except Brazil. The contributors focus on the histories of slave trafficking to, within, and across highly diverse regions of Spanish America throughout the entire colonial period with themes ranging from the earliest known transatlantic slaving voyages during the sixteenth century to the evolution of antislavery efforts within the Spanish empire. Students and scholars will find the comprehensive study and analysis in From the Galleons to the Highlands invaluable in examining the study of the slave trade to colonial Spanish America"--
