Book Launch3
Join us for the launch of Enslavement in the Atlantic World Sites of Remembrance, Sites of Silence in France and Spain, Martinique and Cuba by BCDSS affiliate Ulrike Schmieder.
The author examines historical sites of enslavement and profit transfer, museums, monuments and commemorative ceremonies in France and Spain, Martinique and Cuba. In interviews in the European capitals and seaports, she has determined who has campaigned for or against the commemoration of the African prisoners. In the Caribbean, the author spoke with descendants of enslaved people about their memories of enslavement, experiences with racism, and local memorials. In this way, the legacy of enslavement and the racial inequality that shaped it came to light.
In the context of the cultural heritage boom, sites of remembrance related to slavery and colonialism have become arenas of social conflict. This became particularly evident in 2020 during the Black Lives Matter movement. During the International Decade for People of African Descent (2015–2024), discussions in Europe, Africa, and the Americas have focused on how slavery should be remembered, who should apologize to whom, and who should compensate whom.
This book is intended not only for researchers and students of history and related disciplines but also for anyone interested in the decolonization of memory culture and historical politics.
Date: Monday, 14 April

New Publication "Dependent: Global Perspectives on the History of Resources and Slavery"14
In the volume, edited by Martin Bentz, Nikolai Grube and Patrick Zeidler, seven of our cluster members illuminate "strong asymmetrical dependencies" related to fabrics from a cross-cultural and diachronic perspective. However, they also go beyond the resource of textile and examine the diverse spectrum of human dependency relationships in connection with basic foodstuffs and luxury foods. It is the companion volume to the BCDSS exhibition.

New Publication by Michael Zeuske17
Prof. Dr. Michael Zeuske presents the history of enslaved people in Africa, the Atlantic, and the Americas, with a focus on Latin America and the early capitalist-slave societies such as Cuba, Brazil, and the United States, which were based on what is now known as "second slavery." It examines how this history connects to the emergence of the term "Afro," highlighting that, although often considered an American creation, it is, in fact, of Cuban origin.

CfP: Strong Asymmetrical Dependencies - Perspectives from Asia, Past & Present35
Since the global turn, research about strong asymmetrical dependencies across time and space (among which, but not limited to slavery, bondage, labor and coercion) has greatly expanded both conceptually and geographically. Asia, however defined, is certainly not the blind spot it once was in labor and slavery studies anymore. Yet, despite the pluralization recently generated by global labor and global slavery studies, Asia still remains marginal in many respects. Slavery in early-modern Asia, to mention only one example, is increasingly studied through the lens of European archives, and through European terms of what this slavery entailed, leaving aside the study of forms of exploitation and forced displacement that took place before, beside and beyond the European presence in Asia. What seems to be particularly missing in current discussions is an emic perspective from Asia; that is to say, a more granular and accurate view of the practices, norms and their evolutions, from existing vernacular sources (written, oral and material) and from the actor’s experiences, categories and worldviews. What also seems to be missing is a genuine accounting of Asian historiographies, as well as a proper assessment of the legacies and memories of these diverse phenomena in the contemporary societies of Asia.

New Publication by David B. Smith39
Congratulations to BCDSS PhD Researcher David B. Smith, whose chapter, "'This is my Story, this is my Song:' Queer Presbyterians, Provocative Questions, Practical Politics, and a Case for Church History in the Development of Theologies of Justice" will be published in the book Awake Emerging, and Connected: Meditations on Justice from a Missing Generation edited by Dr. Victoria Turner (Ripon College Cuddesdon) and published by SCM Press.
David Smith's partly autobiographical and theologically constructive piece reflects on the role of history and historiography in the development of theologies of justice. It does so by charting the way historical patterns of discernment shaped the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and its fifty-year struggle over the inclusion, ordination, and marriage of LGBTQIA+ Christians in that religious community.

Our goal is to engage with Marronage as an ecological, political and creative practice, underlining how Black ways of engaging with the environment provide a conceptual and practical reorientation to anthropogenic climate change.

The conference reaches beyond what is now Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia, encouraging scientific debates across regional and temporal disciplinary boundaries with area studies globally within the framework of the histories of entanglements and memory
Juneteenth Lecture by Charmaine A. Nelson55
The scholarship on transatlantic slavery has long benefited from the often-exhaustive data published in the fugitive slave archive. Ubiquitous throughout the transatlantic world, fugitive slave advertisements were commonly placed by enslavers seeking to recapture enslaved people who resisted through flight. Such notices commonly provided specific, invasive detail about an enslaved person’s body, dress, skills, languages, and even gestures and mannerisms. Although enslaved females standardly comprised a smaller percentage of runaways, nevertheless, the fugitive notices that do exist for female freedom seekers shed light on their lives and experiences. Through an examination of the fugitive slave archive and other sources, this lecture seeks to fill some of the scholarly gaps on the experiences of enslaved females of African descent in Canada. More specifically, it will offer some distinctions between the lives and experiences of enslaved females in slave minority (temperate) and slave majority (tropical) sites in the British transatlantic world.
