Abstract

This article explores the social and political history of the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool, UK. Using ethnographic and historical research, it discusses the museum’s origins in the aftermath of the Toxteth disturbances of 1981, its permanent exhibit, its activist projects and its relations with Liverpool’s Black community. It argues that the International Slavery Museum responds to Samuel Moyn’s criticism that human rights theory and practice address past and present abuses, but fail to provide a vision for the future, by supporting human rights culture and organizations and by developing a model for a human rights-based, future oriented organization.

博物馆是基于人权的未来的典范：英国利物浦国际奴隶制博物馆

摘要

本文探讨了英国利物浦国际奴隶制博物馆的社会和政治历史。通过人种学和历史研究，该博物馆讨论了1981年托克斯泰特（Toxteth）骚乱后的历史，永久展览，活动家项目以及与利物浦黑人社区的关系。它辩称，国际奴隶制博物馆回应了塞缪尔·莫因（Samuel Moyn）的批评，即人权理论和实践解决了过去和现在的虐待现象，但没有通过支持人权文化和组织以及发展人权模型来提供对未来的展望。面向未来的组织。
