>>Nowhere in the Americas was slavery a mild institution, and throughout the western hemisphere slavery was foundational to European conquest and settlement. But nor have slavery and race in the Americas been the same everywhere.<<
This essay challenges the US- centricity of all too many Anglphone accounts of slavery in the New World.

My choice is Jennifer Morgan's _Reckoning with Slavery: Gender, Kinship, and Capitalism in the Early Black Atlantic_. Winner of the Frederick Douglass Book Prize and the Prize in Women's/Gender History from the Organization of American Historians.
Documenting how #slavery in the #AtlanticWorld required both the recognition and the denial of the human-ness of the enslaved, Morgan shows how #capitalism emerged in this "unholy alliance" of quantifying value with classifying difference.
🙌 The University of Pennsylvania's sale is available to non US customers as well 🙌
40% off through December 31 using the code PENN-HOLIDAY24 (ooh, a variation on the theme).

"Building on the pioneering work of scholars like Klaus Weber, Eve Rosenhaft, Felix Brahms, and Mischa Honeck, this essay re-charts the various routes of German participation in, profiteering from, as well as showing resistance to transatlantic slavery and its cultural, political, and intellectual reverberations."

"The paper proposed aims to analyze the slavery legislation born between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries, the so-called Black Codes laws—enacted in all the greatest colonial powers of the Old Continent—which regulated life and transportation of slaves in the colonies. Spain, Portugal, England and France, between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, created legislative codes dedicated to the slave’s management in the colonies, which regulated all aspects of their life: from religion to marriage, from cohabitation to imprisonment, from crimes to corporal punishment."

"At the height of the Thirty Years War, news from South America, West Africa and the Caribbean was widespread and quickly distributed in the central European peripheries of the early modern Atlantic world. Despite the German retreat from sixteenth-century colonial experiments, overseas reports sometimes appeared in remote southern German towns before they were printed in Spain or the Low Countries."

@slevelt Now that sounds interesting! Will there be a chapter on colonial connections in the #AtlanticWorld? For example in Nieuw Nederland or between the trading companies on the Gold Coast in their forts and factories? If so, I'm really excited to read it. 🤩
I am new here and hoping to introduce myself to fellow #histodons. I am passionate about #CaptainMarryat #NavalHistory #MaritimeHistory and also men's #DressHistory! A long time #FranklinExpedition and #polar enthusiast, also interested in #MilitaryHistory including the #Warof1812 and the #NapoleonicWars. Another American deeply fascinated by the #RoyalNavy and related topics of #imperialism and the #AtlanticWorld.
Great short read on enslaved people resisting oppression in colonial Brazil (h/t @bramhubbell for pointing this out days back)
