When all the liquid World was one extended Thames
This essay examines how cross-cultural politics and local ecologies shaped early modern British imperial structures by focusing on the Royal African Company’s efforts to exploit West African estuaries for economic and political advantage. Company agents pursued two strategies to integrate these tropical estuaries into a mercantilist imperial framework: prospecting, which sought to render estuarine productivity legible from across the Atlantic, an…
Runaway Slaves in Britain
Running away in the Anglo-American Atlantic World left material traces in the archives. Among the most easily accessible are newspaper advertisements. Placed by British and American masters and mistresses, they detailed the physical and cultural traits of an absconded slave or servant, with the aim of soliciting public help in their recapture. These fleeting historical glimpses into flights from bondage have resonated powerfully in the U.S. and B…
An Abolitionist Abroad
Sarah Parker Remond was a remarkable woman. Her father was a hero of the American Revolution; her mother helped found one of the nation's earliest abolitionist societies in Salem, Massachusetts. Despite facing repeated challenges to her free status as a mixed-race woman in the nineteenth-century United States, Remond nevertheless achieved an international profile. She went to college in London, medical school in Florence, and attained status as a…
Putting Europe in Its Place
This essay argues for a new methodological approach to the study of early modern European history. We call for heightened attention to what we term the material trace of peoples born on other continents and islands who traversed this region. Neither uniformly subaltern nor permanently alienated from Europe as foreigners, these extra-Europeans have suffered neglect in the construction of major historical narratives. We present three case studies d…
Bone Rooms
Bone Rooms reconstructs the rise of physical anthropology in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century United States. It aims to deepen understanding of the “cultural significance” of the skeletal collections created by scholars and museum curators (p. 14). Samuel James Redman maps a shift from an emphasis on racial classification of these remains to their use in efforts to understand evolution and early mankind. Two questions guide the di…
