Defamiliarisation and distancing feature among the narrative techniques used to revisit the diasporic past. While Caryl Phillips interweaves fiction and historical sources, the elaborate staging and framing techniques of Steve McQueen expose the roots of racialisation by offering a vision of the experience of enslavement through moments that could be described as filmed performances. What interests both authors are the inner workings of slavery as a repressive institution based upon the silencing of slaves and the tacit acquiescence of all.
