Abstract
This roundtable places academics and family historians together in research and dialogue to co-produce and publish shared knowledge about the past. Focusing on histories of empire, enslavement, and penal transportation in Barbados, Mauritius, and Australia, we offer this format as an equitable alternative to an academic article written by professional scholars with acknowledgement of genealogists’ research and insights. Focusing on Britain’s penal transportation of enslaved, or formerly enslaved, peoples in the past and the aftermaths of these histories now, we highlight negotiations of history, experiences, and identities in writing about the British empire and its legacies.
期刊介绍:
Family & Community History brings together historical and geographical approaches to communities and families in the past, setting them in an awareness of the importance of place. Places provide the raw material for testing wider generalizations about the past and the journal explores the ways in which studies of local places can extend academic and theoretical contexts. In pursuit of this aim we believe a range of methodological approaches can be applied to the study of past communities, including micro-studies, oral history and qualitative research as well as quantitative studies. We define family and community history in a broad sense. Family can include studies of family and household structures, personal and family life cycles, family roles, kin relationships and migration. Community history can encompass social networks and structures, paid and unpaid work and religious, occupational, political or other voluntary-based communities. The focus is on the history of the UK and Ireland from the 18th to 20th centuries, although the journal will publish articles on other areas and places where they make a clear comparative or methodological contribution.
