He spent the rest of his life on a sugar plantation, where he worked with Agoüya, drank Aboré’s rum, married Izabelle and had a son named Paul. This book tells the story of the community he lived in with a hundred others in a colonial outpost of the Caribbean. It depicts the everyday life of enslaved Africans and Native Americans in remarkable detail, showing their names, relationships, skills, health and interactions, as they contended with and resisted their enslavement. Most studies of plantation life examine well-established colonies in the century before abolition. This work provides a counterpoint by depicting the founding population of an African-American community in the early years of the industrial sugar plantation complex. Drawing on a planter’s manuscript, shipping records, missionary accounts and seventeenth-century scraps of paper, Dibia’s World will appeal to specialists as well as general readers interested in the early Atlantic world, Creole societies, slavery and African-American history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933954490604,"sku":"9781805966319","price":149.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781805966319-dibia-s-world-life-on-an-early-sugar-plantation.jpg?v=1783887681"},{"product_id":"emancipatory-narratives-enslaved-motherhood-by-jane-marie-collins-9781805966326","title":"Emancipatory Narratives \u0026 Enslaved Motherhood","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e#Slaveryarchive Book Prize 2024 finalist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEmancipatory Narratives \u0026amp; Enslaved Motherhood\u003c\/em\u003e examines three major currents in the historiography of Brazilian slavery: manumission, miscegenation, and creolisation. It revisits themes central to the history of slavery and race relations in Brazil, updates the research about them, and revises interpretations of the role of gender and reproduction within them. First, about the preponderance of women and children in manumission; second, about the association of black female mobility with intimate inter-racial relations; third, about the racialised and gendered routes to freed status; and fourth, about the legacies of West African female socio-economic behaviours for modalities of family and freedom in nineteenth-century Salvador da Bahia, Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe central concern within the book is how African and African descendant women navigated enslaved motherhood and negotiated the divide between enslavement and freedom for themselves and their children. The book is, therefore, organised around the subject position of the enslaved mother and the reproduction of her children in enslavement, while the condition of enslaved motherhood is examined through overlapping historical praxis evidenced in nineteenth-century Bahia: contested freedom, racialised mothering, and competing maternal interests - biological, ritual, surrogate. The point at which these interests converged historically was, it is argued, a conflict over black female reproductive rights.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933985554668,"sku":"9781805966326","price":193.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781805966326-emancipatory-narratives-enslaved-motherhood.jpg?v=1783889014"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-liverpool-studies-in-international-slavery.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
