Insignificant Things: Amulets and the Art of Survival in the Early Black Atlantic - The Visual Arts of Africa and Its Diasporas
Matthew Francis Rarey
Traces the history of the amulet pouches, commonly known as “mandingas,” that enslaved and other marginalized people carried as tools of survival in the Black Atlantic world and shows how they are examples of the visual culture of enslavement. Rarey shows how mandingas functioned as portable archives of their makers’ experiences of enslavement, displacement, and diaspora.
