Centring Blackness: Towards a New Public History of the Spanish Empire
History 'is, at last, impossible'.1 No single narrative, study, research, or reconstruction of events can capture the complexity of human existence. No single narrative can tell us the story of everything and everyone that has ever existed. Nor it can describe with a genuine level of honesty the emotional universe of individuals that once were. History is the discipline of approximation, a partial description, a bounded analysis of the past.2 Whe…
Centring Blackness in European History: A European History Quarterly Forum
Black History is European History. By placing Blackness at the centre of the historical narrative, historians are transforming the way in which we think of the history of Europe and successfully overcoming intellectual frameworks which have consistently failed to produce accurate, diverse and compelling analyses of European societies. This collection of essays engages with the methodological and intellectual challenges that we, as historians, fac…

In the Blood of Our Brothers: Abolitionism and the End of the Slave Trade in Spain's Atlantic Empire, 1800–1870
New approaches to the slave trade, slavery, abolition and emancipation across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans
Taking the theme of “abolition” as its point of departure, this collection of essays builds on the significant growth in scholarship on unfree labour in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds during the past two decades. The essays revisit some of the persistent problems posed by the traditional comparative literature on slavery and indentured labour and identify new and exciting areas for future research
Without liberty there is no honour”, nor democracy. Cuba, slavery and abolitionism in nineteenth century Spain’s empire
Democratic ideas were used to legitimize both the need to abolish and to preserve the slave trade and slavery in the Spanish empire during the nineteenth century. This article will demonstrate that the relationship between “slavery” and “democracy” in the Spanish political debate is complex and changing. For political actors, on various places of the ideological spectrum, democratic ideas were presented both as incompatible with slavery and as a …
Comerciar con la sangre de nuestros hermanos: Early Abolitionist Discourses in Spain's Empire
The proposal ofAgustín deArgüelles to abolish the slave trade in 1811 was crucial in defining a new ideological stance within theSpanish political debate by adopting the moral condemnation elaborated by theBritish abolitionist movement. His initiative was the result of a coordinated strategy with theBritish authorities and was key in the construction of early abolitionist discourses inSpain. This article explores the political, ideological and di…
Key to the New World: A History of Early Colonial Cuba
For decades, the history of colonial Cuba has attracted the attention of numerous scholars, who have explored the central role that the Spanish island played in what Dale Tomich has defined as the second slavery. However, a lot less has been written, especially in English, about what had happened before sugarcane infected the region during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In this sense, Luis Martínez-Fernández's book is a remarkable and v…
