摘要

这篇文章探讨了17世纪末和18世纪初被种植园主、商人和其他人从巴巴多斯带到伦敦的奴隶。这些被奴役的人所从事的家政服务与恐怖的中间航道或巴巴多斯迅速发展的甘蔗种植园劳动力体系相去甚远,衣着考究的奴隶贴身侍从可能有助于在伦敦人眼中使奴隶制正常化他们认为这些非洲人就像城市里成千上万的白人佣人一样。尽管如此,这仍然是奴隶制,孤立的,有时戴着手铐,总是离回到加勒比海只有一步之遥,这篇文章中的人们都试图逃离他们的奴隶。这篇文章从报纸上刊登的奴隶广告中所包含的少量信息,以及其他来源,如教区记录,来显示被奴役者获得一定程度的自由的决心,巴巴多斯奴隶试图加强大西洋两岸奴隶制的方式,以及第一个“逃跑奴隶”报纸广告的创作。

Sugar Planters and Freedom Seekers in Seventeenth-Century London
abstract:This essay explores the enslaved people brought to London by planters, merchants, and others from Barbados during the later seventeenth and very early eighteenth centuries. The domestic service that most of these enslaved people undertook was a far cry from the horrors of the Middle Passage or the fast-developing sugar plantation labor system emerging in Barbados, and well-dressed enslaved personal attendants may have helped normalize slavery in the eyes of Londoners who saw these Africans as being similar to the city's tens of thousands of white domestic servants. It was slavery nonetheless, and isolated, sometimes manacled, and always just one step away from a return to the Caribbean, the people featured in this essay all attempted to escape from their enslavers. The essay builds from the scant information contained in the newspaper advertisements published by their enslavers, as well as other sources such as parish records to show the determination of the enslaved to secure a measure of freedom, the ways in which Barbadian enslavers sought to strengthen slavery on both sides of the Atlantic, and the creation of the first "runaway slave" newspaper advertisements.
