Numeracy and Archival Fragments in Understanding the Black Atlantic
In Reckoning with Slavery: Gender, Kinship, and Capitalism in the Early Black Atlantic, Jennifer L. Morgan grapples with the fraught records of capitalist numeracy at the unspoken heart of slavery studies. She is interested in exploring how early modern political arithmetic dovetailed with and influenced the development of the transatlantic slave trade and European understandings of racial difference, kinship, and commerce. Adopting a gendered in…
Punishing the Black Body
Dawn P. Harris examines how corporal punishment in the pre- and post-emancipation British Caribbean had a devastating impact on the bodies and lives of Africans and people of African descent. Her central argument is that white elites in Jamaica and Barbados meted out harsh punishments on Black bodies in an attempt to preserve their dominant socio-economic, political and racial position long after the end of slavery. Adopting a comparative and int…
Blood Fictions, Maternal Inheritance, and the Legacies of Colonial Slavery
This article examines early modern European and colonial American understandings of racial and slave status as hereditary conditions rooted in blood. Focusing primarily on the Chesapeake and Caribbean colonies, I argue that notions of inheritable blood shaped the development of legal innovations and social practices linking African maternal ancestry to permanent commodification and marginalization. Across the Anglo-Atlantic world, unregulated sex…
A Dark Inheritance
A major reassessment of the development of race and subjecthood in the British Atlantic Focusing on Jamaica, Britain’s most valuable colony in the Americas by the mid-eighteenth century, Brooke Newman explores the relationship between racial classifications and the inherited rights and privileges associated with British subject status. Weaving together a diverse range of sources, she shows how colonial racial ideologies rooted in fictions of bloo…
D aniel L ivesay . Children of Uncertain Fortune
In Children of Uncertain Fortune: Mixed-Race Jamaicans in Britain and the Atlantic Family, 1733–1833, Daniel Livesay focuses on the migration of elite mixed-race individuals from Jamaica to Britain in the century before the Slave Emancipation Act of 1833. Yet his study is not simply a biographical analysis of Jamaican migrants of joint European and African ancestry. Instead, Livesay examines the kinship networks and possible paths available to th…

A Dark Inheritance
Focusing on Jamaica, Britain’s most valuable colony in the Americas by the mid-eighteenth century, A Dark Inheritance explores the relationship between racial classifications and the inherited rights and privileges associated with British subject status. Brooke Newman reveals the centrality of notions of blood and blood mixture to evolving racial definitions and sexual practices in colonial Jamaica and to legal and political debates over slavery …
Dispossessed Lives
An advertisement for a runaway female slave; the will of an infamous free(d) woman of color; the legal deposition of a white adulteress embroiled in a scheme involving an enslaved boy in gendered disguise; and a petition for compensation following the execution of Molly, an enslaved woman accused of attempted poisoning are some of the tantalizing archival fragments around which Marisa J. Fuentes has constructed a gripping narrative about the live…

Historical Perspective
Overview Human trafficking for the purposes of forced labor, commercial sexual exploitation, or reproductive slavery is often seen as a modern phenomenon. However, the trafficking and enslavement of men, women, and children is one of the most ubiquitous and pervasive features of all human civilizations, across time and space. While the nature and extent of slavery and the international trade of human beings, both legal and illegal, has changed dr…
Contesting ‘Black’ Liberty and Subjecthood in the Anglophone Caribbean, 1730s–1780s
Tracing the shifting meanings of British liberty and subjecthood in relation to persons of African descent in the West Indian colonies – from tentative acceptance and ambivalence in the early eighteenth century, to outright hostility after 1760 – this article argues that planter elites ultimately embraced a rigid, outmoded racial ideology in order to preserve white hegemony. In Jamaica in particular, the master class came to see free ‘black’ part…
Gender, Sexuality and the Formation of Racial Identities in the Eighteenth‐Century Anglo‐Caribbean World
In recent years, scholars have directed considerable attention to the influence of gender relations and sexual practices on developing racial formations in early British America, the colonial Caribbean and the wider British empire. Understanding that unauthorised intimacies in the imperial world threatened notions of Britishness at home has greatly enhanced our knowledge of the complexity and instability of the process of collective identity form…
