Inspired by Stuart Hall in his reflection on postcolonialism, we could define post-slavery as a description of society in reference to a period (rather than a point) in time after the formal abolition of slavery, when power relations between masters and slaves were being reconfigured, a period that demonstrates continuities with the pre-abolition period.14 We view post-slavery as a new way to define our research agenda and its limits.
