Undercurrents of Power
Kevin Dawson's mission in this study is to challenge research into slave communities that are terrestrially focused and reveal the rich aquatic cultures enslaved peoples brought with them from their African homelands. His inspiration, as a ‘multiracial person of African descent', was his own love of swimming and surfing but also assumptions that African Americans did not like, or were not physically suited to, swimming. These assumptions, he argu…
The Politics of Reproduction
A number of seminal studies in the 1980s and 1990s looked at the demography of slave populations and, specifically, debates about the problem of the low fertility of Caribbean slave women in the age of abolition. With the threat of the ending of the British slave trade, the failure of Caribbean slave populations to increase naturally, in contrast with the American slave-owning states, emerged as a central preoccupation of slave owners. British po…
Nationalism, Development, and Welfare Colonialism
Much has been written on multiple aspects of gender and empire since the 1980s, but its importance in the ending of empires has, however, been accorded less attention, although gender continued to be highly significant in understanding the dynamics of decolonization. Decolonization was, and still is, represented as a process where the key actors were male development experts, politicians, and colonial officials who negotiated the post-colonial fu…
‘Britain’s conscience on Africa’
This chapter addresses the African context that defined the issues around which activism developed. It examines women who were more directly involved in left-wing or liberal pressure group activities in Britain, highlighting individuals such as Nancy Cunard, Winifred Holtby and Sylvia Pankhurst. The chapter presents the evaluation of relationships between white women and black men in progressing debate over the 'colour problem' in Britain and the…
Marisa J. Fuentes. Dispossessed Lives
In his pioneering work Searching for the Invisible Man: Slaves and Plantation Life in Jamaica (1978), Michael Craton focused on the lives of ordinary slaves. But where was the “invisible” slave woman? The archives revealed that she had a strong presence, but the reality of her life remained “invisible,” obscured by Maya Angelou’s “fabulous fiction” of black women’s lives as seen through white, predominantly male, eyes. Since the 1970s, much has b…

Feminising Empire? British Women's Activist Networks in Defending and Challenging Empire from 1918 to Decolonisation
This article addresses female activism spanning the Empire and creating interconnected networks linking the local and global dimensions of Britain's imperial mission in an era of increasing uncertainty. The transition from empire to commonwealth and, ultimately, independence was marked by anti-colonial challenges from within Britain and in the colonies and threats to empire from international developments post-1918. This era also witnessed a more…
Connecting Women's Histories
The articles in this Special Issue are drawn from some of the contributions to a conference held at Sheffield Hallam University, UK, from 29 August to 1 September 2013 titled ‘Women's Histories: the local and the global’. The articles reflect on diverse aspects of the entangled histories of women across the world, mainly, but not exclusively, during the twentieth century. They explore the range of ways in which women's history, international hist…
Imperialism and Postcolonialism
This account of imperialism explores recent intellectual, theoretical and conceptual developments in imperial history, including interdisciplinary and post-colonial perspectives. Exploring the links between empire and domestic history, it looks at the interconnections and comparisons between empire and imperial power within wider developments in world history, covering the period from the Roman to the present American empire. The book begins by e…
Colonial Research and the Social Sciences at the End of Empire
After the ending of slavery the West Indian colonies were marginalised in British imperial consciousness but the major disturbances of the 1930s jolted the complacency of colonial administrators and aroused more widespread concern over lack of development. At the same time, there was greater official recognition of the academic social sciences in formulating policies to promote colonial development and counter mounting threats to empire. This art…
African Caribbean Slave Mothers and Children
In this article, I explore the impact of slavery and the Slave trade on the most fundamental relationship in human societies, the bond between mother and child. Firstly, I review European accounts of motherhood and childrearing (pre-enslavement) in the African cultures of origin. Secondly, I address the traumas of dislocation and enslavement during the Middle Passage. This is followed by some insights into the experiences of women and children in…
Sara Baartman and the Hottentot Venus
Daughters of injur'd Africk
There is now a substantial literature on slavery yet few studies directly address the gendered nature of the slave trade. In this article, the author demonstrates how women’s experiences of the trade were contingent on conflicting European stereotypes of African women, their fertility and sexual vulnerability but, also, their gendered roles in African cultures. These gender differences influenced women’s resistance and survival strategies. The mi…

Centering Women
‘Sable venus’, ‘she devil’ or ‘drudge’? british slavery and the ‘fabulous fiction’ of black women's identities, c . 1650–1838
In this article, the author addresses the problem of how much historians can understand about the identities of individuals living in a different epoch in time, in relation to what has been termed the ‘fabulous fiction’ of black women's identities in slavery and freedom. A central argument is that stereotypes of black women were highly gendered and clustered around contradictory representations, particularly the ‘Sable Venus’, ‘She Devil’ and pas…

Defiance or submission? The role of the slave woman in slave resistance in the British Caribbean
The majority of works on Caribbean slavery, both contemporary and modern attribute to slave women a subordinate and passive role in slave resistance. By examination of every‐day acts of non‐cooperation, maronage, slave uprisings and the link between African religion and slave revolts, this paper argues that, on the contrary, women were active at all levels of slave resistance and made a significant and indispensable contribution to the slaves’ st…
