{"title":"‘Sterile Citizens’ & ‘Excellent Disbursers’: Opium and the Representations of Indentured Migrant Consumption in British Guiana and Trinidad","authors":"Jamie Banks","doi":"10.1080/0144039x.2023.2275631","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/0144039x.2023.2275631","url":null,"abstract":"This article examines the representation of Asian indentured migrants as ‘consumers’ in colonial British Guiana and Trinidad. Focusing on the specific case of opium, it explores how attitudes towards the drug fed into broader debates about socio-economic responsibilities of these labouring communities. After first establishing the considerable revenues which colonial authorities derived from the taxation of opium, the article illustrates the growing calls for migrants to ‘pay back’ to the colonies which had shouldered the cost of their introduction. It also explores how stereotypical representations of Chinese and Indian consumption informed debates about the economic viability of continuing to import various forms of migrant labour. The article argues that migrant consumption mattered, and that understanding why it mattered necessitates a broader understanding of how indentured migration shaped the economic and social histories of various British colonies following emancipation.","PeriodicalId":46405,"journal":{"name":"Slavery & Abolition","volume":"14 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135589785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Examining the monuments at scale, we identify the monuments’ patterns of production and provide data-led answers to specific questions such as what Britain’s most significant monumental legacies of slavery are; how enslaved people appear in British public monuments; and how this data might support rethinking these monuments.","PeriodicalId":46405,"journal":{"name":"Slavery & Abolition","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136210267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Iconography of Death in the Logbooks of the Eighteenth-Century Dutch Atlantic Slave Trade","authors":"Andrew Sluyter","doi":"10.1080/0144039x.2023.2264838","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/0144039x.2023.2264838","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTWhen deaths among the enslaved and crew occurred during the eighteenth-century voyages of the vessels of the Middelburg Commercial Company, many of the officers who kept logbooks aboard drew skulls and crossbones, crosses, hourglasses, and other icons to mark those deaths. While some scholars have previously noted those icons preserved in the margins of 109 logbooks in the Zeeuws Archive in Middelburg, the Netherlands, this first comprehensive description and analysis of that iconography of death contributes a novel dimension to our understanding of the Atlantic slave trade. Many of the icons relate to memento mori symbolism that emerged during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in Dutch vanitas paintings and quotidian objects to emphasize the evanescence of mundane existence lived without spirituality, helping to reconcile the conspicuous consumption of material goods extracted from a global colonial empire with a Calvinist piety that abjured earthly possessions. The iconographical analysis reveals seventeen types of icons, ranging from basic marks such as an X to combinations of skulls, crossbones, hourglasses, and wings. Moreover, it reveals which icon types appear most commonly, how they changed over time, how they varied among logbook authors, and how they differed for deaths among the enslaved and crew.KEYWORDS: Atlantic slave tradedeatheighteenth centuryiconographylogbooksMiddelburg Commercial Company AcknowledgmentsI thank Bailey Landry, who worked diligently as an undergraduate intern on this project in 2021 to search logbooks for death icons, as well as the incredible staff at the Zeeuws Archive for answering queries and granting permission to reproduce the death icons.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Zeeuws Archive (Middelburg, the Netherlands), ascension no. 20, Middelburgsche Commercie Compagnie (hereafter MCC) preserves the documents related to the voyage of the Haast U Langzaam, including the logbook (MCC 537) and other volumes that record trades, payroll, muster roll, equipment, trade goods, and return cargo (MCC 538, 539, 540, 541.1, 541.2, 541.3).

This article centres on mobilities of Manuel Francisco Zapata, a Black man of Wolof descent, born and raised a Muslim in Meknes, Morocco. Captured and enslaved by the Spanish, he lived for several years in Seville, and was then trafficked to Cartagena de Indias and Panama City before being tried by the Inquisition for ‘Apostatic, Judaic propositions.’ His life narrative allows a glimpse of the multiplicity of captive mobilities—coerced movement through military labour, capture, imprisonment, the trans-Atlantic voyage, arrest, and exile—that enslaved Africans endured. Captivity on the move was central to the condition of enslavement.","PeriodicalId":46405,"journal":{"name":"Slavery & Abolition","volume":"44 1","pages":"478 - 495"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48347855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It does so by examining the experiences of two Black families who were trafficked by an American ‘Confederado’ colonist. Through a close reading of a diverse array of sources, including government records, newspaper correspondence, passenger lists, and rich oral histories, it pushes back against the enslaver narrative in which these families are portrayed as willing travel companions. Instead, it narrates a counter-history that exposes how their enslaver used subterfuge, diversion and coercion to traffic them in plain sight and retain their enslaved labour against the tide of emancipation.","PeriodicalId":46405,"journal":{"name":"Slavery & Abolition","volume":"44 1","pages":"496 - 518"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47058019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
