Highlights

  • Slavery heritage tourism narratives stimulate plural public memories of the past.
  • The embodied absence of the past is physical presence yet narrative absence.
  • European cities are viable sites for studying slavery heritage tourism.
  • Guided tours and guidebooks are tools to subvert authorised heritage narratives.
  • Empirical and conceptual innovation is needed in slavery heritage tourism research.
