Freedom's Captives: Slavery and Gradual Emancipation on the Colombian Black Pacific
Historian Yesenia Barragan has produced a profound and cutting-edge interpretation of American freedom and unfreedom. In Freedom's Captives: Slavery and Gradual Emancipation on the Colombian Black Pacific, Barragan weaves a case study of Colombia into the larger fabric of Black Atlantic history. One of her major interventions is to rethink the significance of the early republican period in general and gradual slave emancipation in particular. The…
Sonic Settlements: Jamaican Music, Dancing, and Black Migrant Communities in Postwar Britain
Between the 1940s and 1970s, various genres of Jamaican music, from big band jazz and tropical sounds, to ska/blue beat, to reggae, provided a sonic dimension to the mass migration of Caribbean people to Britain. Alongside the quest for housing and work, Caribbean people, as well as native black British and other diasporic black populations, built leisure spaces, community life, and a new consumption-driven domesticity centered around music and d…
Freedom’s Children: The 1938 Labor Rebellion and the Birth of Modern Jamaica by Colin A. Palmer
It is difficult to overstate the significance of the strikes and public protests in Jamaica during May–June 1938. Colin A.

As one of Britain’s oldest colonies, Jamaica witnessed mass demonstrat…
Spectacles of Freedom: Public Manumissions, Political Rhetoric, and Citizen Mobilisation in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Colombia
This article rethinks the role of public manumission ceremonies and emancipation itself in mid-nineteenth-century Colombia as symbolic gestures designed to attract and be meaningful for audiences composed of citizens. Whereas scholars have focused on the presumed failures of the manumission juntas, the present study argues that their primary goal was not to free slaves but to create rituals of civic participation, embodiments of egalitarian citiz…
Purificar la nación: Eugenesia, higiene y renovación moral-racial de la periferia del Caribe colombiano, 1900-1930
Este artículo examina el papel de la eugenesia en la creación de programas de higiene en la costa Caribe colombiana a comienzos del siglo XX. Las ideas eugenésicas sobre el decaimiento racial, en especial sobre el lugar de las poblaciones negras en ese supuesto proceso, inspiraron proyectos que buscaban promover la salud y la limpieza de la gente de la Costa para eliminar lo que se percibíacomo su contaminación biológica y cultural. El deseo de m…
