The Tory’s Wife
Rebecca’s Ordeal, from Africa to the Caribbean
In 1832, an elderly enslaved woman named Rebecca told the Protector of Slaves in Demerara (part of colonial British Guiana) a harrowing story that, she hoped, would secure her freedom and that of her grown children. Decades earlier, barely past childhood, she had been sexually exploited by the captain of the slave ship that carried her across the Atlantic. He promised to free her if she bore his child. Her freedom claim, now in the archives of th…

Florence Hall's ‘Memoirs’
This essay presents the previously unpublished ‘Memoirs’ of Florence Hall, an African-born woman enslaved in early nineteenth-century Jamaica. The brief text describes Hall's childhood in Igboland (now southeastern Nigeria), her enslavement and journey to the Atlantic coast, her experience of the Middle Passage, and her arrival in Jamaica. There, the narrative abruptly cuts off. Evidently, the pages containing the rest of her story were lost. The…

The Subject of the Slave Trade
The two hundredth anniversaries of the British and U.S. abolition acts have coincided with a surge of new scholarship on the trans-Atlantic slave trade. This essay surveys recent work and considers the benefits and limitations of approaching the slave trade through several common frameworks: the Atlantic, Great Britain, and Western Africa. Historians of the Atlantic—including the editors of the newly revised Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database—em…
Envisioning an English Empire
Cultures and Identities in Colonial British America
In this collection, Robert Olwell and Alan Tully offer a sampling of new work on the interplay between “centrifugal” forces that caused colonial societies to adapt to their particular environments and contexts and “centripetal” forces that pulled them back toward the metropolis (p. 11). Of course, that formulation evokes the model of colonial development articulated by Jack P. Greene in Pursuits of Happiness (1988), a model this volume seeks to r…
