Remedios for Relationships
This study argues that practices sometimes referred to as "love magic" operated instead as relational therapeutics in colonial Latin America. Focusing on women's roles in Spanish Caribbean port cities from the late sixteenth through the early eighteenth century, I analyze a range of relationship remedios (or cures) ranging from divination and prayers to spells and potions by interrogating early modern Spanish Inquisition records from Mexico and C…

Conversion as a Communal System of the Protestant Atlantic World
Katharine Gerbner's wide-ranging and provocative book connects a broad range of scholarship on religion and race in the Protestant Atlantic world prior to the Great Awakening. It is organized around her concept of an emerging ideology of "Protestant Supremacy," which she argues was the first step toward White Supremacy. This ideology came out of evangelizing failures in the seventeenth-century colonial Americas as Protestant slaveholders reframed…
Stephen Snelders, Leprosy and Colonialism
The latest in the ‘Social Histories of Medicine’ series from Manchester University Press, Stephen Snelders’s in-depth monograph on Dutch Suriname makes several key contributions to global scholarship on the leprosy. First, and most importantly, Snelders provides a needed corrective to the historiography concerning how Western science began to see leprosy as a colonial problem. His monograph is one of very few that search for the racialised roots …

Slavery and inter-imperial leprosy discourse in the Atlantic World
In medieval Europe, leprosy had been widespread, but concern faded with the disease during the early modern period, until it reappeared in force in the Americas connected to Africans and the slave trade. In the Spanish Americas, lazarettos were built as early as the sixteenth century for lepers of all races, but by the eighteenth century, leprosy became an issue of note for doctors and government officials in plantation-rich French, British, and …

Gregory E. O’Malley. Final Passages
In this rigorously-argued and well-sourced volume, Gregory E. O’Malley establishes himself as being on the cutting edge of scholarship with regards to the complexities of the transatlantic slave trade. He shows that enslaved people endured much more beyond the Middle Passage during their journey. O’Malley tracks the final sea-born passages experienced by Africans as British slave markets expanded in the eighteenth century, bringing captives from …
