‘[Trails] and tribulations’
The mechanisms underlying occupational socialisation and wash-out following formal coach education are not well understood. This study explores eight cycling coaches (6 males, 2 females) navigating these challenges as they transition into their everyday coaching role. Using ethnographic interview data (collected over 18 months) and inspired by creative non-fiction (CNF) literary techniques, the accounts of three characters (Emily, Mark, and Yvett…
It’s not just you come into the gym and do your weight training
The current study explored muscularity and weight training’s role as capital in people’s identities across various contexts. Eleven weight trainers from two gyms were interviewed (3 females, 8 males) about their desires for muscularity and the role it played in their lives. Thematic narrative analysis identified narratives that framed the individuals’ muscular desires, behaviours, and importance. Muscularity formed a versatile resource - identity…
Hunting for rents
In August 1808, L. J. Herbert, a former dealer in slaves at Lagos, acknowledged that he still owed some 128 slaves or goods of equal value to Thomas Lumley & Co. of London on account of goods advanced to him in 1807 by one of Lumley’s captains. Export prices of slaves in West Africa rose sharply in 1795-1807. As far as applying the fisheries model to the slave trade is concerned, slaving activities in Africa do not seem to have evolved to the poi…
Managing the “Train of Uncertainty”
The chapter analyses the structure of Liverpool’s trade in Atlantic Africa to assess its impact on the city’s performance as a slave port. An an online slave voyage website reveals a heavy concentration of Liverpool activity in the Bight of Biafra in the Gulf of Guinea, with Bonny in the Niger Delta and Calabar on the Cross River being the two leading suppliers of slaves to Liverpool ships before 1807. Such a concentration of trade at specific po…
Finding “a Pathway for the Humanities”
Abolitionists understood that public outrage might induce Parliament to reconsider the status of British slaving, but that ultimately building a legislative majority for intervention was pivotal to their success. The chapter reveals the obstacles they faced, noting the political influence of “slave power” in Britain, the opposition of sections of government to change, and radical shifts in international politics associated with revolutions in Fra…
Principles and Agents
Britain’s abolition of its slave trade in 1807 was a defining moment in modern history, yet it continues to excite controversy, in part because the nation dominated European trafficking of Africans to America in 1783–1807. Through an analysis of market conditions at the British, African, and West Indian points of the infamous triangular trade, as well as of issues of credit and of agency dilemma involved in their integration, this book seeks to e…
Reaching “the Common People”
Evidence of content analysis shows that newspaper reporting of the slave trade grew substantially over the eighteenth century, widening and deepening the reading public’s knowledge of it and Africa decades before abolitionists looked to use the press to promote their campaign from the late 1780s. The chapter explores the press’s role as mirror and shaper of public opinion in tandem with other publications. It also focuses on the reporting of cond…
The “Wheel of Unfathomable Commerce”
Credit was fundamental to growth of British slaving activity, whether to outfit voyages, to support transactions in Africa, or to facilitate Caribbean planter slave purchases, but so too was trust by investors in slave voyages in the agents—shipmasters and colonial factors—who acted abroad on their behalf. Failures to manage principal-agent (or agency dilemma) issues implicit in slaving undermined financially the English Royal African Company by …
“Vulgar Error”
Though formal moves to end British slaving only began in the last quarter of the eighteenth century, questions about the ethical and legal premises on which it rested had begun to emerge a century earlier. Largely based on religion but shaped by ongoing debates about the Stuart crown and English liberties, issues relating to the pursuit of slaving became entangled in debates about African humanity, natural rights, royal prerogative, and the natur…
On the “Heroism of Principle”
The concluding chapter explores the relative importance of agency and ideology in shaping the history of the British slave trade. Comparing the processes of slave trading and abolitionism, it notes how the former was integral to mercantilist ideas of imperialism, while the latter reflected a revulsion against slavery linked to humanitarian principles and an underlying sense of national identity. Success in articulating such beliefs, however, rest…
A “Diabolical Traffic”
Britain’s leading position in transatlantic slave trafficking elevated the significance historically of its abolition, but why it assumed that position is usually unexplained. This and the two following chapters address that issue. It begins here with identifying how, within a mercantilist framework, demand for enslaved Africans evolved in conjunction with the economics and demography of sugar cultivation in the British West Indies for export to …
Prices of Slaves in West and West-Central Africa
Currently available price series for slaves during the eighteenth century need to be treated with much caution, and it seems unlikely that large quantities of new evidence will be unearthed. Further progress toward the creation of more reliable price series will thus require new methods of estimation. In this paper, a new price series for slaves at the African coast is calculated using data relating to the number of slaves shipped from the coast …
Whitehaven and the eighteenth-century British Slave Trade
It is widely recognised by historians that Bristol, Liverpool and London dominated the eighteenth-century British slave trade. This chapter examines the history of Whitehaven’s involvement in the trade. The century after the Stuart Restoration witnessed a substantial growth of Whitehaven’s population and general prosperity. The cornerstone of this prosperity was the coal trade which, according to available figures, may have grown six-fold between…
Slave Exports from West and West-Central Africa, 1700-1810
During the past two decades historians have made major advances in reconstructing the volume and coastal distribution of slave exports by American and European traders from the west coast of Africa during the eighteenth century. According to Lovejoy’s calculations, Curtin’s original estimate of slave imports into America and the Atlantic Basin between 1451 and 1867 was only about 2 per cent lower than the figure implied by later research. During …
Contemporary Slavery in Historical Perspective
Developing individuals whilst managing teams
The aim of this study was to explore under 21 Development coaches’ thoughts, perspectives, and approaches within this phase of development at English Premier League (EPL) football clubs. Data were collected via one-to-one semi-structured interviews with six under 21 development coaches from six different EPL clubs. Data were subjected to thematic analysis. Findings suggested that under 21 development coaches were situated, culturally and sometime…
Expert recommendations for the design of a children’s movement competence assessment tool for use by primary school teachers
A child’s early school years provide a crucial platform for them to develop fundamental movement skills (FMS), yet it has been acknowledged that there is a shortage of suitable FMS assessment tools for teachers to use within schools. To begin to address this shortfall, the purpose of this study was to elicit expert recommendations for the design of a FMS assessment tool for use by primary school teachers. A multi-phase research design was used, i…
Critical Moments in Elite Premiership Football
The present paper aims to specifically outline the critical moments that permeate professional football players’ development and existence in elite level English Premiership football. It also recognises the role of the applied sport psychologist in working with top players to address issues that challenge, impact (and change) player identity and personal meaning as they travel through their career from youth to professional to retirement. We conc…
Illustrating bias due to conditioning on a collider
That conditioning on a common effect of exposure and outcome may cause selection, or collider-stratification, bias is not intuitive. We provide two hypothetical examples to convey concepts underlying bias due to conditioning on a collider. In the first example, fever is a common effect of influenza and consumption of a tainted egg-salad sandwich. In the second example, case-status is a common effect of a genotype and an environmental factor. In b…
The Dutch in the Atlantic World
This chapter examines the concept that along with the post-1710 French traffic, the Dutch slave trade was the first to be documented. Overall, it is estimated that a total volume of 554,300 slaves was carried from the African coast in Dutch vessels in 1596–1829. All slave-trading nations drew on a surprisingly small number of individual ports on the African coast, but the Dutch present the most extreme variant of this pattern. Without the 10,000 …
Shipboard Revolts, African Authority, and the Transatlantic Slave Trade
Databases for the Study of Afro-Louisiana History and Genealogy, 1699-1860
Not so long ago historians widely doubted that much could be known about the African background of the enslaved population that labored within the territory that became the United States. Among those who thought there was even a past worth recalling, at best one could recover a generalized background, the discovery of “least common denomina-tor[s],” as the anthropologist Melville Hersko-vits expressed it in The Myth of the Negro Past (1941), that…
