Abstract

Although the Amboyna Massacre had not originally been the first English massacre, by the eighteenth century that is what it had become. The epilogue analyzes how the incident displaced previous incidents and acquired historical primacy, drawing on contemporary histories and almanacs to chart this process. It situates Amboyna in the context of other massacres around the world to assess what distinguished Amboyna from other episodes of violence. It concludes by arguing that Amboyna’s status as the first English massacre, along with its origin at the time the word massacre itself entered the English language, shaped the meaning of subsequent violent episodes, and placed intimacy, treachery, and ingratitude at the center of massacres in ways that endure to the present day.
后记
虽然Amboyna大屠杀最初并不是英国的第一起大屠杀,但到了18世纪,它已经成为了第一起大屠杀。结语分析了这一事件是如何取代之前的事件并获得历史主导地位的,并借鉴了当代历史和历书来描绘这一过程。它将阿姆博伊纳事件置于世界各地其他大屠杀的背景下,以评估阿姆博伊纳事件与其他暴力事件的区别。它的结论是,Amboyna作为英国第一起大屠杀的地位,以及它在“大屠杀”一词进入英语时的起源,塑造了随后暴力事件的意义,并以持续至今的方式将亲密、背叛和忘恩负义置于大屠杀的中心。
