Slave Trade in the Indian Ocean: Expanding the SlaveVoyages Database
While the trans‐Atlantic slave trade has been thoroughly documented in a database of slaving voyages freely available to the public, few comparable resources focus on the traffic across the Indian Ocean and Asia exist. This article seeks to change that picture by discussing the preliminary findings of a research project aimed at expanding the geographic coverage of SlaveVoyages, the premier database of slaving voyages available to the public. Sin…
Rijke-EPSTEIN (Tasha), Children of the Soil: The Power of Built Form in Urban Madagascar
Apartheid, colonisation, genocide: some of the words at the centre of the intense debates on the characterisation of the violence in Palestine and Israel have a particularly charged history in Africa. To open a dialogue between specialists of these various regions, the Institut des mondes africains has organised a series of round tables on these concepts. On 19 June 2024, sociologists and historians of Africa, international law, Israel and Palest…
Well Fed but ‘at the Same Time, Well Beaten’: Amelioration in the Seychelles
In the years prior to legal emancipation, British officials enacted a series of laws intended to ameliorate the condition of those held in slavery in their colonies. This article investigates the impact of amelioration on the islands of the Seychelles immediately prior to emancipation. While the legal changes, including the dispatch of a Protector of Slaves to the Seychelles, were limited in terms of effectiveness, their implementation offered pe…

“A mere business affair”?Women in the social and commercial worlds of nineteenth-century Madagascar
The port of Mahajanga in northwestern Madagascar was home to a diverse commercial community during the nineteenth century. Merchants from East Africa, India and the Arabian Peninsula drew upon extensive contacts within Madagascar to obtain commodities they would then sell to Americans and Europeans. Women living in these coastal communities, however, rarely entered into Western accounts of long-distance exchanges, despite their roles as wives, tr…
American Provisioning and the Environmental Impact on Islands in the Indian Ocean
Studies of Indian Ocean commerce have focused on the role of commodities such as silver or spices in creating and sustaining connections within the ocean and beyond. This emphasis obscures the exigencies that forced captains to visit islands in the Indian Ocean in search of provisions to feed crews during long distance voyages. This provisioning would have unforeseen consequences, particularly environmental ones, by the early nineteenth century w…

Yankees in Indian Ocean African: Madagascar and Nineteenth-Century American Commerce
Throughout the late eighteenth and into the nineteenth centuries, merchants from the newly independent United States established trading connections around the world. While there have been several recent publications that study these global exchanges, most studies have focused on American activities in Asia and overlooked the development of connections within the Indian Ocean and in East Africa. This article will examine how American merchants es…

European slave trading in the Indian Ocean, 1500–1850
Between 1500 and 1850 Europeans purchased about half a million men, women, and children from East Africa, Madagascar, India and Southeast Asia, and transported them to locations throughout the Indi
The Indian Ocean in Transatlantic Slavery
Despite the considerable distance and danger in transporting slaves from the southwestern Indian Ocean region to the Americas, ships carried nearly 550,000 slaves to the Americas between 1624 and 1860. Prior attempts to understand the place of the Indian Ocean in the transatlantic slave trade have been limited in scope, but the transatlantic slave trade database provides us with access to unprecedented statistics and estimates that shed new light…
Pirates and Kings: Power on the Shores of Early Modern Madagascar and the Indian Ocean
This article describes the ways elites in Madagascar benefited from interactions with European and American pirates during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Malagasy leaders expanded their knowledge of global patterns of exchange and used this knowledge to monopolize trade from the island. At the time, the identification and suppression of pirates became a conflict between trade systems in and around the island. The states formed by Malag…
