Postcoloniality and Forced Migration
World history is peppered with population displacements, forced migrations, and expulsions, and European colonialism was implicated in the forced movement of countless people from the 15th century onwards. The founding of many instruments of international law dealing with forced migration, including the current international refugee regime, were drafted by imperial powers and informed by colonial logics, including ideas of racial hierarchy and ci…

Postcoloniality and Forced Migration
Liberated Africans and the Abolition of the Slave Trade, 1807–1896
Interrogates the development of the world's first international courts of humanitarian justice and the subsequent "liberation" of nearly two hundred thousand Africans in the nineteenth century
Liberated Africans and the Abolition of the Slave Trade, 1807-1896
Black Maternal and Infant Health
The legacies of slavery today are seen in structural racism that has resulted in disproportionate maternal and infant death among African Americans. The deep roots of these patterns of disparity in maternal and infant health lie with the commodification of enslaved Black women’s childbearing and physicians’ investment in serving the interests of slaveowners. Even certain medical specializations, such as obstetrics and gynecology, owe a debt to en…

Recaptured Africans
In the years just before the Civil War, during the most intensive phaseof American slave-trade suppression, the U.S. Navy seized roughly 2,000enslaved Africans from illegal slave ships and brought them into temporarycamps at Key West and Charleston. In this study, Sharla Fett reconstructs thesocial world of these and recounts the relationships they built tosurvive the holds of slave ships, American detention camps, and, ultimately,a second transa…
Middle Passages and Forced Migrations
Between 1858 and 1860, Africans liberated by the US Navy from four slave ships near the Cuban coast were detained in Federal custody before being transported for resettlement in Liberia. This article draws on the concept of ‘middle passage’ and ‘forced migration’ to explore the conditions under which the US government seized, detained, and transported Africans rescued from illegal trafficking. Looking at slave trade suppression through the lens o…
