摘要

摘要本文将在英国伦敦码头区博物馆举办的“伦敦，糖与奴隶制”展览中展出的文物“Punch Ladle，1773”置于背景之下。一张标语牌表明，这把勺子曾经属于“加勒比酋长查托耶”，是西印度委员会借来的。通过这件文物，查托耶和所谓的黑Caribs（Garifuna）的故事基本上被遗忘了，同时通过实物传记的方法分析了文物来源的复杂性。本文还考虑了目前不归还文物及其目前在展览“奴隶主”部分的位置所带来的伦理和策展影响。最后，本文通过与查托耶的联系，论证了这件文物的全球意义，查托耶是一位历史性的非洲裔加勒比殖民抵抗人物，为当前博物馆的非殖民化辩论做出了贡献。

Chatoyer’s Punch Ladle: A Museum Artifact that Speaks to the Hidden History of the Garifuna, An African-Caribbean People

ABSTRACT This paper contextualizes the artifact “Punch Ladle, 1773” on display in the “London, Sugar & Slavery” exhibition at Museum of London Docklands (UK). A placard identifies the ladle as once belonging to “Chatoyer, Chief of the Caribs” and as on loan by the West India Committee. Through this artifact, the largely forgotten story of Chatoyer and the so-called Black Caribs (Garifuna) is highlighted, while complexities of the artifact’s provenance are analyzed through an object biography approach. The paper also considers the ethical and curatorial implications of the current non-repatriation of the artifact and its present location within the “Slave Owner” part of the exhibition. Finally, by arguing for the artifact’s global significance through its association with Chatoyer, a historic African-Caribbean figure of colonial resistance, this article contributes to current museum decolonization debates.

期刊介绍： Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage provides a focal point for peer-reviewed publications in interdisciplinary studies in archaeology, history, material culture, and heritage dynamics concerning African descendant populations and cultures across the globe. The Journal invites articles on broad topics, including the historical processes of culture, economics, gender, power, and racialization operating within and upon African descendant communities. We seek to engage scholarly, professional, and community perspectives on the social dynamics and historical legacies of African descendant cultures and communities worldwide. The Journal publishes research articles and essays that review developments in these interdisciplinary fields.
