And yet it leads to a question integral to the protests. Central to the cost-benefit analysis of the work’s undoubted quality was the question: who was it for? For a black audience, many of whom would rather not dwell on the depth of one-time subjugation? Or for a white audience, to reflect on just how horrific slavery was? And was the discomfort of so many of the former justified to achieve the latter? Is this where we stand when it comes to assessing slavery; have we seen so much that we now have to humanise the vilest abuses to feel anything at all?
