Women’s Labor in Empire and Diaspora
The Panama Canal construction was a locus where empire, diaspora, and racial capitalism converged. At the center of this intersection were Black West Indian women who migrated to Panama to achieve their social and economic aspirations. Black women migrants from British and French Caribbean colonies played an indispensable role in the building of U.S. imperial infrastructure and authority by sustaining Black male canal workers and caring for white…
The endurance and expanse of settler colonial history
Guerilla Women And Men In Silk Dresses
In the summer of 1860, seventy-seven samurai conducted a month-long tour of Eastern Seaboard cities during a diplomatic mission to advance the fledgling US–Japan relations. The delegation became an instant sensation. News coverage of the visit revolved around a few motifs: feminized representations of the Japanese diplomats; white women's enthusiastic receptions; and castigations of white women's autonomous participation in formal and informal di…
M arilyn L ake . Progressive New World
Marilyn Lake’s Progressive New World: How Settler Colonialism and Transpacific Exchange Shaped American Reform is a fascinating story of exchanges and collaborations between reformers in the United States and Australasia (Australia and New Zealand, but mostly the former) who embarked on creating a new social order based on progressive ideals.

Different Tales of John Glasgow
This article seeks to advance conversation on the literary and political agency of fugitive slave narrators and their far-reaching archival footprints by focusing on the evolution of John Brown’s narrative of John Glasgow, a Demerara-born free Black sailor with whom Brown toiled side by side on a Georgian plantation. In British and U.S. abolitionist discourse, Glasgow’s tragic story—he was imprisoned under Georgia’s seamen law upon arriving in Sa…

Kenneth Coleman examines the history of Black exclusion in Oregon through the lens of an individual, James D. Saules, a former sailor of African descent who settled in the territory in 1841. He arrived after deserting from the United States Exploring Expedition, which surveyed the flora and fauna of the Pacific Ocean and Rim, married a local Chinook woman, and worked in transportation on the Columbia River. He later purchased a small tract of lan…
Tropical Freedom
In Tropical Freedom Ikuko Asaka engages in a hemispheric examination of the intersection of emancipation and settler colonialism in North America. Asaka shows how from the late eighteenth century through Reconstruction, emancipation efforts in the United States and present-day Canada were accompanied by attempts to relocate freed blacks to tropical regions, as black bodies were deemed to be more physiologically compatible with tropical climates. …

Colored Men of the East
The article examines two competing popular discourses about race formed around the Japanese delegation that toured the Atlantic seaboard in the summer of 1860 and argues that the divergent white attitudes toward the Asian visitors opened up new discursive opportunities for African American elites to assert national inclusion and critique white racism. Conflicting ideas about Japanese racial difference emerged and played out on the streets and in …
