Abstract

abstract:In 1800, an exiled community of Jamaican Maroons migrated from Nova Scotia to the British antislavery colony of Sierra Leone. When they disembarked, Maroon captains met with Sierra Leone Company officials and rapidly negotiated and coauthored a treaty. This treaty is a composite manuscript document scattered throughout the National Archives at Kew (United Kingdom). The diplomatic customs that Maroons and British officials observed at the negotiation—including making speeches, reading script words aloud, and refusing to sign documents—marked the document as a treaty. This essay makes the case that the source is a treaty; explains and contextualizes the negotiation that occurred; and explores the themes of settlement, alliance, and antislavery that changed in Maroon treaties in Jamaica and Sierra Leone in the eighteenth century.
来源:1800年的《栗色条约》
1800年,一个流亡的牙买加黑人社区从新斯科舍省迁移到英国的反奴隶制殖民地塞拉利昂。当他们下船时,“栗色”号的船长们会见了塞拉利昂公司的官员,并迅速谈判并共同起草了一份条约。该条约是一份分散在英国邱园国家档案馆的复合手稿文件。黑人和英国官员在谈判中遵守的外交惯例——包括发表演讲、大声朗读稿子、拒绝签署文件——将这份文件视为一份条约。这篇文章证明了这个来源是一个条约;对发生的谈判进行解释和语境化;并探讨了18世纪牙买加和塞拉利昂的黑人条约所改变的定居、联盟和反奴隶制的主题。
