Analysis focuses on why she and so many like her have not managed to improve their life chances by moving to town, despite the Nigerien ban on slavery. Relevant factors include her lack of a family support network, the continued impact of prejudice against former slaves, a fear of possibly worsening her economic standing via such a move, and the strong moral compulsion of ordained gender roles in contemporary Sahelian cities. Former mistresses/masters also resisted the departure of women like her from wealthy herding households because of their housework contribution and their crucial role in producing the next generation of workers.","PeriodicalId":37778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21619441.2020.1833522","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42933715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By following their migration in the period before the outbreak of World War II to Bathurst, the capital of the Colony of the Gambia, this essay focuses on the opportunities and restraints that ambitious young men willing to shake off the social disability of their slave ancestry experienced both in their home contexts and in the urban setting. The cultural, economic, and social dynamism of colonial cities held the promise of anonymity. Yet a micro-historical focus on the trajectories of these two men shows that memories of a slave past could travel along the paths of rural-urban migration with different outcomes in the course of the individual life cycle. Indeed, as much as the village, the city could become a theater of post-slavery negotiations between former masters and former slaves.","PeriodicalId":37778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21619441.2020.1802157","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42841365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, I discuss the socially embedded nature of speech prior to COVID-19 and its transformation during the early months of pandemic lockdown. I propose that, in Mauritius, speech plays a key role in interethnic interaction and tension, sociality, and in the experiences of Creoles living in Mauritius. Following the government imposition of social distancing and masking during early 2020, I argue that when Mauritius was declared COVID-19 “free,” people quickly reverted to spatially proximal social behaviors. I also argue that subsequent lockdowns may be stymied by how deeply Mauritians rely on speech as means to achieve sociality and manage ethnic tension on the island.","PeriodicalId":37778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21619441.2021.1901510","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46309557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim is not only to critically analyze representations of Black individuals in historic houses, but to lay the foundations for the development of a prospectus for change. By visiting three house museums with known Black historic residents, this article begins development of such a prospectus. I provide suggestions for the curation of permanent exhibits that inspire a sense of belonging in visitors, and challenge the traditionally uncritical narratives that have been presented in stately homes. It is hoped that this research will continue with a wider breadth of locations and time periods, eventually working towards change within the heritage sector, which will have impact outside of our discipline and on ideas of the past in the public imagination.","PeriodicalId":37778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21619441.2021.1904737","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41734397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Towns adjusted to or were created for service to that trade. In turn, these towns shaped the socioeconomic realities of their hinterlands. Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, this impact was felt nowhere more than among the enslaved and freed-slave migrants who made their way to perceived opportunities on the coast. This article examines these migrants’ experiences through a comparative regional approach. We look first at Saint Louis du Senegal and then compare the Gold Coast, Whydah, Lagos, the Bight of Biafra, Luanda, and Benguela. Each of these cities had its own particular qualities, often shaped by geography, but there were also common features. They all depended heavily on slave labor and, in several, female slave ownership was important. Most significantly, slavery in these cities was marked by considerable autonomy for the enslaved.","PeriodicalId":37778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21619441.2020.1802159","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48699322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These towns were long surrounded by plantations that relied on the labor of enslaved people. In the first decades of the twentieth century, slave populations dissipated quickly. In towns, the colonial cash crop economy, voluntary rural-urban migration, and the decline of slave-owning elites combined to allow former slaves to assimilate and adopt new urbanite identities. Sufi orders played a central role in affording ex-slaves a respectable presence in town. Nevertheless, former slave owners and former slaves lived in different parts of these towns, former slaves’ livelihoods were more precarious, and the imputation of slave origins remains offensive, even today. Indeed, the era of slavery still divides people and still engages the social imagination.","PeriodicalId":37778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21619441.2020.1804691","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49267772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By the evening, people lock themselves in their houses out of fear of robbery and assault. Many urban dwellers blame this insecurity on organized criminal groups coming from the poorest neighborhoods of the capital—neighborhoods inhabited mainly by migrants from other regions of the island and by slave descendants. By investigating the local dynamics of economic and social marginalization that slave descendants and migrants experience and by exploring the growing “fear of the dark” perceived by people belonging to different status groups, this paper demonstrates how memories of slavery are still deeply inscribed in the social geography of Antananarivo. It traces how the legacies of slavery are reshaped in an urban context where social divisions between status groups still permeate local representations of poverty and insecurity.","PeriodicalId":37778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21619441.2020.1802158","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42346658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an eighteenth-century farm quarter that housed both an overseer and enslaved individuals, the undocumented space was a location of constant cultural interaction and negotiation that, without archaeology, would have remained unknown. An archaeobotanical analysis conducted on plant remains recovered from the site demonstrates how enslaved Africans and African Americans on the site acquired and consumed food, and interacted with the site overseer and slave owners. Identified botanical material suggests that food was both a mechanism and a product of community development, identity formation, and agency assertion. The botanical assemblage further illuminates the multitude of influences and experiences that went into forming new, creolized African American foodways.","PeriodicalId":37778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21619441.2021.1878431","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44154822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After emancipation, the plantation continued its operations using a “free” primarily African American labor force based upon a sharecropping and/or tenant system. The foodways of plantation laborers changed little over time. Those shifts that did occur between enslavement and emancipation related to increased reliance upon mass-produced foodstuffs and mass-produced goods associated with cooking and eating.
