摘要

在早期的殖民地,另类的社会形式可能是焦虑的根源。宗教和社会凝聚力往往是一个不受控制的环境的一个问题。对早期殖民地的描述反映了由定居者和奴隶组成的社会的凝聚力。殖民者的私利可能会被认为是公共秩序的问题,而奴隶的欲望则会破坏财产。实际上,一些财产被割让给奴隶,并描述了通过给予比较优惠来激励奴隶的策略。对未开垦环境的描绘反映了对殖民地外未开垦空间的邻近的焦虑。还有一些内部边界是由共同的习俗维持的,例如款待客人和饮酒。许多关于黑奴的证词说明了对文化和颠覆的关注,以及谣言在早期殖民地的作用。殖民地进一步的紧张局势源于欲望,并与围绕婚姻、解放和自杀的问题有关。和解放黑奴一样,从没有在特定的社会背景之外被考虑过,它说明了奴隶社会内部的不稳定性。

Society and slaves
In the early colonies, alternative forms of society could be a source of anxiety. Religious and social cohesion was a concern in what was often an unmastered environment. Accounts of the early colonies reflect on the cohesion of a society made up of settlers and slaves. The self-interest of colonists could be acknowledged as problematic for public order, and the desires of slaves as disruptive to property. In practice, some property was ceded to slaves, and strategies were described to motivate slaves by granting comparative favour. Depictions of the uncultivated environment reflect anxieties about the proximity of unmastered spaces outside the colonies. There were also internal frontiers maintained by shared practices, such as hospitality and the consumption of alcohol. A number of testimonies about the maroon slaves illustrate concerns with culture and subversion, as well as the role of rumour in the early colonies. Further tensions in the colonies developed from desire, and related to questions surrounding marriage, manumission and métissage. Métissage, like manumission, was never considered outside distinct social contexts, and illustrates the instability within the slave society.
