As atonement, apologies and reparations move up the political agenda, attention is turning to establishing the number of African victims.
This talk brings together leading experts to contextualise who is being remembered and to define what we mean by "victims of African enslavement".
It will explore different methodologies and ways of understanding the weight of this African loss – dubbed the Maafa or "great disaster" in the Americas, Africa and Asia.
This event is part of the year-long commemorations marking 30 years of African Remembrance Day.
