African Bondsmen, Freedmen, and the Maritime Proletariats of the Northwestern Indian Ocean World, c. 1500–1900
Slavery in Africa and the Slave Trades from Africa
Africa's slave trade to the Islamic world began centuries before the Atlantic slave trade and lasted somewhat longer, in some places into the twentieth Century. The African slaves challenged slavery by rebelling—most successfully in Saint Domingue. Slavery in Islamic Africa and the slave trade between Africa and Islamic communities abroad present a potentially rich topic for historians seeking to compare systems of slavery and slave trades. For E…
African Bondsmen, Freedmen, and the Maritime Proletariats of the Northwestern Indian Ocean World, c. 1500–1900
Bondsmen, Freedmen, and Maritime Industrial Transportation, c.1840–1900
This essay argues that African freedmen who laboured in ships' stokeholes played vital roles during the first decades of the development of British steam enterprise in the Indian Ocean. These freedmen represented one aspect of the simultaneous globalization and ethnic/occupational segmentation of British maritime labour as a whole. The essay opens with an analysis of the problems that faced entrepreneurs of maritime industrial transport both in g…

Segismundo's services [as notary at the registry office] had, indeed, been admirably suited to the time and place. ... He cheerfully registered all the children that ap-peared before him as having been born in the County of Ilheus, State of Bahia, Brazil. ...

Foxes in the Field
Fieldwork fascinates us, at least those of us who have done fieldwork. Whenever two or more fieldworkers gather, they begin to exchange fieldwork But as those of us who have worked with oral narratives know, people tell stories for reasons. Our stories are more than just stories. By telling stories, we try to come to terms with an and to convey to others what it was like. Why do memories of fieldwork preoccupy fieldworkers so? If fieldwork storie…
