Mémoire de l'esclavage

Across five issues published by Caraïbéditions between 2010 and 2015, Mémoire de l'esclavage is a French-language comics series that confronts the historical legacy of slavery in the Caribbean. The series is most closely associated with the creative team of writer Jean-Pierre Pécau and artist Fred Duval, who bring a sober, researched perspective to this often-overlooked chapter of colonial history. Its importance lies in using the comics medium to preserve and interrogate collective memory, offering a nuanced, visually compelling account that resonates with contemporary discussions of identity and heritage.
