Description
Perpetual Slavery explores the legacy of slavery and its ongoing impact on contemporary society. Ciarán Finlayson examines the relationship between art, capitalism, and freedom in the current political context.
The essay considers the persistence of conscripted labor and carceral statism despite the official end of chattel slavery, and how this affects our understanding of post-emancipation worlds. By engaging with the work of Ralph Lemon and Cameron Rowland, Finlayson probes the historical connection between art and capitalism.
This thought-provoking analysis offers a nuanced exploration of the complexities of freedom in modern society, inviting readers to consider the ways in which art and politics intersect.
