Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-27 00:00:00 Tonny Oey Engrossing, encompassing, inflamed: from the multiple threads of liberal philosophy, contemporary hermeneutics, and new historicism Baucom crafts an elegant telling of two stories: one, a historical narrative about events; and, two, an event which narrates how we tell history. Baucom touches on critical figures such as Adam Smith and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel through to Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak and Edouard Glissant; his reference points inevitably returning to the Zong atrocity and the questions surrounding circum-Atlantic histories of British imperialism, the trade in African Slaves, Liverpool merchants, and contemporary writers and poets. If all this sounds like a lot to take it, well, it is. However in Baucom's elegant hands the book unfolds gracefully. |
