Descriptif
This paper discusses the development of the Lancaster Slave Trade, Abolition and Fair Trade Trail over the last three years and its impact on the city. It will discuss the print, digital and walking version and analyse them in the wake of Rice’s own theory of guerrilla memorialisation developed in his 2010 monograph, Creating Memorials, Building Identities: The Politics of Memory in the Black Atlantic. He will discuss performative actions that are intended to initiate memorialisation in spaces where hitherto there has been little or no memorialisation around Black history. He will discuss the advent of Black Lives Matter and the ways this has altered the landscape for giving such walking tours. He will investigate provocative graffiti on the gravesite of a slave merchant and its effect on the Trail and the arena for Black History in Lancaster. This ultimate act of guerrilla memorialisation has led to unprecedented community action and a project that now encompasses a digital archive and trail and the engagement of dozens of local schools. I will discuss all these developments using theoretical models around memory developed by Paul Ricoeur, Michael Rothberg, Giorgio Agamben, Dionne Brand, Paul Gilroy, Jean Fisher and Ian Baucom.
