Introduction: Hidden economies of slavery
This special issue addresses the concealment of slavery and other forms of coerced labour. It brings together contributions from scholars working on different regions and time periods between the eighteenth and early twentieth centuries. The starting point is the observation that in the wake of abolitionism and imperial anti-slavery rhetoric, persisting areas of slavery and coerced labour became increasingly hidden. The term “hidden economies” he…

Banning the sale of modern firearms in Africa: On the origins of the Brussels Conference Act of 1890
The Brussels Anti-Slavery Conference in 1889–1890 agreed upon a sales ban of modern firearms for large parts of the African continent, a covenant that served joint imperial interests amid the ‘Scramble for Africa’. This article reconstructs the historical context in which the Brussels provisions came into being and explores the inter-imperial co-operation that paved the way for the agreement. To understand its origins, special attention must be p…
Beleidigung im Antikolonialismus: Zur Bedeutung des Invektiven im Dekolonisationsprozess Kenias und Tansanias
The article examines the role of invective communication in the political struggle against British colonialism in Kenya and Tanzania. After a general framing of the research question it elaborates on three cases: the declaration of a humiliating breach of protocol in Zanzibar (1906), the protest against the racist kipande system in Kenya (1920s) and the libel action against Julius Nyerere in Tanzania (1958). The case studies show how specific exa…
The evolution of productive organizations
Colonial expertism and its post-colonial legacies
This chapter examines a specific field of knowledge production that emerged in both Europe and Japan in the late nineteenth century under such headings as ‘colonial studies’, ‘colonial science’, and ‘imperial science’. Colonial expertise was widely exchanged between empires, challenging to some extent the historical narrative of competing imperial powers. At the same time that colonial studies disappeared in the late 1960s, a new strand of histor…
Slavery Hinterland: Transatlantic Slavery and Continental Europe, 1680-1850
Slavery Hinterland explores a neglected aspect of transatlantic slavery: the implication of a continental European hinterland. It focuses on historical actors in territories that were not directly involved in the traffic in Africans but linked in various ways with the transatlantic slave business, the plantation economies that it fed and the consequences of its abolition. The volume unearths material entanglements of the Continental and Atlantic …
The Overseas World and Hamburg
Closely reading the Overseas Review ?a journal founded in the German port city of Hamburg in 1949? this article examines the contemporary concept of “overseas” and studies how a local tradition drawing on the city’s overseas relations was recreated in the context of the postwar era. Whereas this tradition perceived the overseas world as being in a state of fundamental change, it emphasized Hamburg’s traditional role as a “bridge” to this world. T…
Translokale Beziehungen und ihre Repräsentation: Sansibar-Stadt im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert
By focusing on Zanzibar Town during the 19th and 20th century, this article examines how locality was produced and modified by different actors – in particular through representation of translocal relations. In this context, the article discusses four cases studies: (1) the representation of power and cosmopolitism by the sultans of Zanzibar, (2) the meanings of the city and of relations to it for free African migrants, (3) the Western perspectiv…
