This book, the second of a two-volume study on the legacies of enslavement, examines the place of gender and memory in slavery's aftermath in East Africa. The first part of the book examines how trajectories out of slavery differed for men and women. Several chapters question the common assumption that women ex-slaves were absorbed more easily than men into the households of their former enslavers. Chapters in the book's second half focus on the practices of shaping and silencing memories of the slave past. Case studies include Uganda, Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Tanzania and Mayotte.
