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.
