Rebuilding life after slavery. Manumission, emancipation, and family networks in European empires, 1750–1900
Wherever and whenever systems of slavery existed, enslaved people struggled to attain freedom.Spanning various imperial contexts from 1750 to 1920, this special issue convenes a team of scholars to investigate the aftermath of emancipation.What did freedom from slavery entail in deeply unequal colonial societies?This issue explores diverse experiences, from maroon communities in the Caribbean wilderness to the forced resettlement of freed slaves …
Mothering Solidarity
Poor and marginalized people have always distributed the labour of mothering, among their extended kin networks, with friends and neighbours and within their communities. This essay argues that taking a long historical view on the distribution of infant-feeding as labour serves as a useful corrective to modern western or imperial models which reify exclusive breastfeeding in the mother-baby dyad, and opens up questions about how the work of feedi…
A State of Underdevelopment
In the nineteenth and early twentieth century, Liberia was in the unusual position of being a colony with no metropole. Without military or financial support, the settlers’ control over their territory remained weak. Surrounding European empires preyed on this weakness, and Americo-Liberian rule was often at risk from coalitions of European forces and indigenous African resistance. From the early twentieth century, the political elite took on the…
‘The Strangest Problem’
Introduction
Natural leisure spaces in long-term care homes
In promoting high physical activity and productive engagement as the motto of successful aging, society has cast individuals living in long-term care (LTC) homes as aging unsuccessfully [Holstein, M. B., and M. Minkler. 2003. “Self, Society and the ‘New Gerontology’.” The Gerontologist 43: 787–796]. The purpose of this paper is to explore ways natural leisure spaces within an LTC home can challenge deficit-based assumptions of decline and depende…
Between empire and colony
Both Liberia and the USA make their independence from the imperial/colonial systems of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries an integral part of their national identities. Despite an upsurge in the use of the term ‘American Empire’ since the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, the American government has firmly identified itself as a republic with no colonial ambitions. Liberia, dubbed ‘Africa's oldest republic’, has similarly fashioned a national…
Everyone Knows that Laws Bring the Greatest Benefits to Mankind’
Literature on the development of the Slavery Convention of 1926 often gives Abyssinia (now Ethiopia) as the test case and primary target of the international convention against slavery. For the most part, the Abyssinian side in the legal debates is obscured and a strong narrative of helplessness in the face of European pressure to abolish the legal status of slavery emerges. This paper seeks to re-centre the history of specifically Abyssinian leg…
Just dance with me
Most research on marginalised groups, including those living with illness or disability, continues to exclude those experiencing illness or disability from decision making in the research endeavour. This is particularly true for persons living with dementia, who are stigmatised, misunderstood and assumed to lack the capacity to actively participate in all aspects of the research process. In this paper, we provide a detailed account of one collabo…
The Experience of Engaging With Research-Based Drama
Researchers describe how audiences experienced a research-based drama called I'm Still Here ; a production about persons and families living with dementia. The research drama was created to help diminish the unnecessary suffering that accompanies the misunderstanding and judgment of persons living with dementia. This article describes the immediate experience of seeing, hearing, and feeling research findings that have been transformed through dra…
