In the Wake of Slavery
Writing in the 2010 New York Times op-ed “Ending the Slavery Blame-Game,” Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. hoped to a provide a corrective to what he regarded as the prevailing view of the transatlantic slave, namely, that Europeans were alone responsible and therefore alone culpable for the capture, sale, and transfer of millions of Africans during the transatlantic slave trade. In an effort to reframe the recent debate regarding slave repa…
All God's Children Had Wings
This article investigates stories of human flight in the folklore of enslaved men and women throughout the plantation Americas, and especially along the coastal regions of Georgia and South Carolina where examples abound of Africans taking flight and returning to an African homeland, more than an ocean away. The ubiquity of these stories and their persistence even after the era of slavery reveal a lasting search for a sanctuary away from the horr…
James H. Sweet. Domingos Álvares, African Healing, and the Intellectual History of the Atlantic World
The first generations of African slaves, translators, and traders who crisscrossed the Atlantic Ocean in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries have emerged in recent historiography as crucial agents in the formation of the Atlantic world. First dubbed “Atlantic Creoles” by Ira Berlin, these mobile bands consisted of multilingual, multiethnic, and often multiracial men and women whose lives offer glimpses of the social possibilities prior to th…
Rituals of Resistance
When Sterling Stuckey published his seminal article “Through the Prism of Folklore: The Black Ethos in Slavery” in 1968, little did he realize the impact he was about to make on the study of the “peculiar institution” in the United States. During the next fifteen years, a deluge of books and articles, many of them by the nation's most gifted historians, appeared showing how black culture traced its roots back to Africa. Not a few of these studies…
Rituals of Resistance
In Rituals of Resistance Jason R. Young explores the religious and ritual practices that linked West-Central Africa with the Lowcountry region of Georgia and South Carolina during the era of slavery. The choice of these two sites mirrors the historical trajectory of the transatlantic slave trade, which for centuries transplanted Kongolese captives to the Lowcountry through the ports of Charleston and Savannah. Analyzing the historical exigencies …
The Role of Fear in Agenda Setting by Television News
The present research explored the implications of fear for the perceived importance of news stories. It was predicted that television news stories subjectively perceived as more fearful would be considered as more important. Participants were put in the role of a television news editor and asked to evaluate a set of promotional news clips for an evening news broadcast. Participants evaluated all of the clips to determine the degree of unpleasantn…
