  • Du Martin Luther King Jr. Day à Juneteenth

    Lawrence AjeARTICLEMigrations Société2023

    À travers l’étude de deux jours fériés, le Martin Luther King Jr. Day et Juneteenth National Independance Day (ou, plus simplement, Juneteenth), commémorant l’histoire des Noirs américains, cet article met en évidence que, dans le sillage des mouvements des droits civiques et de Black Lives Matter, on assiste à un phénomène de « nationalisation » de la mémoire noire américaine aux États-Unis. La « fédéralisation » de la mémoire noire, sur un mode…

  • The Many Faces of Slavery

    Open AccessLawrence Aje, Catherine ArmstrongEDITORBOOKThe Many Faces of Slavery2020

    While the plantation accounts for 90% of slave ownership and experience in the Americas, its centrality to the common conceptions of slavery has arguably led to an oversimplified understanding of its multifarious forms and complex dynamics in the region. The Many Faces of Slavery explores non-traditional forms of slavery that existed outside the plantation system to illustrate the pluralities of slave ownership and experiences in the Americas, fr…

  • La commémoration de l'esclavage dans l'espace public aux États-Unis

    Lawrence AjeARTICLEEthnologie française2020References: 22

    Cet article revient sur le débat lié à l'émergence de la mémoire de l'esclavage et de la traite dans l'espace public aux États-Unis. Après avoir dressé une typologie des représentations figuratives relatives à l'esclavage dans l'espace public, et les résistances qu'elles suscitent, l'article met en évidence combien le discours mémoriel sur l'esclavage est le fruit d'un consensus participant d'une logique de réconciliation interraciale. Il s'inter…

  • Re-Imagining the Guyanas

    Open AccessLawrence Aje, Thomas Lacroix et al.EDITORBOOKRe-Imagining the Guyanas2019

    French Guyane, Guyana and Suriname are not often focused on. Sometimes French Guyane is believed to be an island, and one often wonders where Guyana is situated, or Suriname. This collection of essays aims to increase the visibility of the Guyanas and more particularly of the three countries mentioned above. It also means to contribute to scholarship already published and share the knowledge across various disciplinary fields. It will question th…

  • L’affranchissement testamentaire des esclaves en Caroline du Sud 1783-1865

    Lawrence AjeARTICLERevue française d’études…2019References: 2

    This paper analyzes conditional or differed manumission by will in South Carolina by underscoring how it initially served as a means of controlling the enslaved population while respecting the unalienable right of slave masters to dispose of their bond property as they chose. As the question of slavery became increasingly politicized, South Carolina prohibited the private manumission of slaves, thus sacrificing the individual rights of slave owne…

  • Traces and Memories of Slavery in the Atlantic World

    Lawrence Aje, Nicolas GachonEDITORBOOKTraces and Memories of Slavery in…2019

    Traces and Memories deals with the foundation, mechanisms and scope of slavery-related memorial processes, interrogating how descendants of enslaved populations reconstruct the history of their ancestors when transatlantic slavery is one of the variables of the memorial process. While memory studies mark a shift from concern with historical knowledge of events to that of memory, the book seeks to bridge the memorial representations of historical …
