Introduction. Falling Statues around the Atlantic
Cipriano Castro en Alemania y el contrabando de armas a Venezuela (1909-1913)
Este artigo examina as atividades de Cipriano Castro na Alemanha entre 1909 e 1913, após ser deposto da presidência da Venezuela. O foco principal reside em suas tentativas de contrabandear armas de volta para a Venezuela, buscando retomar o poder. A pesquisa explora o contexto político tanto na Venezuela quanto na Alemanha, as redes de contato de Castro, os detalhes das transações de armas e o impacto final de seus esforços. O estudo utiliza fon…
Migration, Slavery, and Commodification
This chapter analyses migrations in global history using examples of slave trade/slavery as ‘forced’ or ‘coerced’ migration and their connections to commodification. Taking a longue-durée plateau approach to global history, from 10000 bnc to around 1960, Atlantic slavery (1400–1900), as well as the slaveries and colonial expansions of Europe (1800–1960), are given special consideration. In addition to referencing the commodities produced by and f…
The Rise of Atlantic Slavery in the Americas
This chapter examines the development of slavery in the early modern Americas in two major periods. The first period consisted of the co-option and expansion of “pre-Columbian” indigenous slaveries by European colonizers in the different societies of the Americas. The second witnessed the introduction, establishment, and development of Atlantic slavery, which gave rise to a massive slave trade from West Africa to the Americas but also included th…
Wage-Earning Slaves
One of the aims of this excellent book is to show how extremely complicated the agency of slaves was within the given legality of a specific slavery regime. The analysis shows a much more dynamic slavery in Cuba than in the United States or Brazil—namely, a capitalist commodification of slaves amid extreme asymmetrical colonial dependency, which also could hardly be controlled by a state-formed legality. Market economic relationships between slav…
Slavery and Antislavery in Spain's Atlantic Empire
African slavery was pervasive in Spain’s Atlantic empire yet remained in the margins of the imperial economy until the end of the eighteenth century when the plantation revolution in the Caribbean colonies put the slave traffic and the plantation at the center of colonial exploitation and conflict. The international group of scholars brought together in this volume explain Spain’s role as a colonial pioneer in the Atlantic world and its latecomer…
Una revolución con esclavos y con Bolívar. Un ensayo de interpretación
Entre 1780 y 1880 el colonialismo europeo entro en crisis. Las revoluciones liberales atlánticas del siglo XIX impulsaron la opción de la independencia política de las colonias americanas. Estas fueron presentadas por las nacientes nacionalísimos como revoluciones de independencia o guerras revolucionarias de independencia. Se sostiene en este artículo que esas independencias fueron guerras civiles de la que surgió un nuevo régimen político que a…
The Slavery / Capitalism Debate Global
Humboldt in Venezuela and Cuba
The reception of Humboldt's work now spans more than 200 years. It began with the publication of the texts that form his Opus Americanum (1808–31). Among these works, it was in the Political Essay on Cuba , where a chapter was devoted to the demography of the slave trade from Africa to Cuba, that became a cornerstone of the global historical significance of Humboldt's oeuvre . It can be argued that during the past 200 years the same clichés and s…

Revolutionary Masculinity & Racial Inequality
At least three persons should be very happy about this book.Let's call them the "Cienfuegos Trio."The main subject concerns constructions of Cuban masculinity under the conditions of "no end after the end," meaning the continuing hierarchies of colonial constructs of race after the official end of slavery and colonialism.Bonnie Lucero sets all this the context of an anticolonial revolutionary war, the war of 1895-98 in Cuba (exactly from the pers…
Handbuch Geschichte der Sklaverei
Michael Zeuske has fully revised and substantially expanded this perennial work. For the first time, the global history of slavery is presented systematically and in historical context, including an analysis of all its forms on all continents, and its respective designations. It develops a comprehensive history of slavery on a broad empirical base, from its beginnings until the present day
Forced mobilities
The history of the slave trade has been described from different perspectives. Contemporary sources tended not to address the topic from the perspectives of mobility, migration, or diaspora. Well into the twentieth century, many were directly employing terms such as ‘negro trade’, criminals, banishment or deportation, slave trafficking in areas of ‘non-civilization’, ‘coolie trade’, and even ‘house girls’. For Africa, where most of the transregio…
Towards a microhistory of the enslaved
Studies on slavery are of growing importance when analyzing and understanding colonial societies and, fundamentally, in the Atlantic region as a space of connection between Africa, America and Europe. In the text a reflection is made regarding the thematic and methodological aspects that have been carried out from the microhistorical perspective. The value of the slave testimonies, direct and indirect, of the so-called ego-documents is proposed a…
Out of the Americas
This essay on the “Hidden Atlantic” was first published in German in 2009, systematically employing the concept for the first time. It is published here in English translation, slightly revised and supplemented with the most important recent literature. Its basic assumption is that since the beginning of British and US policies implemented against the Atlantic slave trade, slave ship voyages (1808/1820–1874) were no longer outfitted in Europe, bu…
Microhistoria de esclavas y esclavos
La mayora de los libros que llevan el trmino esclavitud en su ttulo se ocupa de instituciones, de economas o de aspectos legales y estructuras. Casi todos reproducen, consciente o inconscientemente, las perspectivas de los esclavizadores o las de una sociedad esclavista determinada. Esto ya significa mucho, porque muchas sociedades de lo que hoy denominamos "Occidente" o "Norte", que tienen cmo base el capitalismo liberal, les cuesta mucho trabaj…

T his article takes a global-historical perspective on all slaveries and slave trades (and contraband trading of human bodies) in relation to today's state of capitalist accumulation. It follows the different "national" schools of slavery research in different imperial traditions, as well as the sections of historical thinking stimulated through slavery research. Although legal ownership over humans does not exist any more, more women and men are…

Kleine Geschichte Kubas
Kubas Geschichte ist eine Geschichte des Reichtums und der Blüte, aber auch eine Geschichte der Armut, der Unterdrückung und des nie erlahmenden Widerstandes dagegen. Der Reichtum der Insel durch den Zucker ist untrennbar mit der Sklaverei verknüpft; die Befreiung von der spanischen Kolonialmacht mit dem Übergang in die Abhängigkeit von den USA; die Revolution Fidel Castros mit dem Verlust der Absatzmärkte in Nordamerika und der Verarmung des Lan…

Se analiza la significación histórica de los diarios de viaje de Francisco de Miranda en los que se consigna su paso por el Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico. Tras posicionar brevemente a Miranda en la historiografía, se describe su ruta alemana del liberalismo temprano, que cobra relevancia para los estudios actuales de historia cultural y social. Se presta así atención a las experiencias de vida diaria, los procesos de transculturación y la transf…

El médico se hace comerciante rico con estos conocimentos y se casa dentro de los marcos de una vieja élite de Cuba (no si…
Rethinking the Case of the Schooner Amistad
Based on new archival findings and new interpretations, this article presents new perspectives of the ‘Amistad case’, bringing it back into Caribbean and Atlantic history. The article demonstrates that the captain of the Amistad, Ramón Ferrer, and his crew were transatlantic slave traders and smugglers and provides proof that the Amistad was built in Cuba. Moreover, as a result of the enormous profits of the illegal slave trade, Ferrer bought mor…
Handbuch Geschichte der Sklaverei
This handbook is the first publication to systematically present the history of slavery in the context of global history. The point of departure is an understanding of slavery as the capitalization of the human body. The most diverse types of slavery are analyzed – on all continents, under its respective names and in its historical context. This broad empirical basis leads to a history of slavery beginning around 10,000 BC and continuing to the p…

Property in Writing, Property on the Ground
In the most literal sense, the abolition of slavery marks the moment when one human being cannot be held as property by another human being, for it ends the juridical conceit of a 'person with a price.' At the same time, the aftermath of emancipation forcibly reminds us that property as a concept rests on relations among human beings, not just between people and things. The end of slavery finds former masters losing possession of persons, and for…
Hidden markers, open secrets
Focuses on how in Cuba race-marking was interrelated with surname-giving, also after the abolition of slavery. Through researching life histories on the local level in the Cienfuegos region, the author examines names of former slaves, finding that these were after abolition in notarial records often marked with the adjectives s.o.a., or "sin otro apellido" (without other surname, taking into account the Iberian double surname tradition). This, ac…

Comparing or interlinking? Economic comparisons of early nineteenth-century slave systems in the Americas in historical perspective
INTRODUCTION As a historiographer of the Americas, I have sought to illuminate the facts through the employment of comparisons and statistical surveys and, thus, provide proof to my ideas. With these words, Alexander von Humboldt began the chapter on slavery in his Political Essay ( Essai politique ) on the island of Cuba, published in 1826. The chapter represented the most important argument made by a liberal thinker against slavery in the Atlan…

Alexander von Humboldt in Cuba, 1800/1801 and 1804
This essay follows the traces of Alexander von Humboldt in Cuba in two ways, first by means of the written record and second as part of the author's fieldwork, searching for and following the possible routes that Humboldt took during his two visits to Cuba. The aim of this research is to reconstruct the real itinerary of Humboldt in Cuba, his contacts and the ‘experimental’ basis of his theoretical conclusions about slavery, the slave trade, and …
