The Colony and the Company
The Cambridge History of Nationhood and Nationalism
This major new reference work with contributions from an international team of scholars provides a comprehensive account of ideas and practices of nationhood and nationalism from antiquity to the present. It considers both continuities and discontinuities, engaging critically and analytically with the scholarly literature in the field. Volume I starts with a series of case studies of classical civilizations. It then explores a wide range of pivot…
Empire, War, and Racial Hierarchy in the Making of the Atlantic Revolutionary Nations
In 1954, the great African-American painter Jacob Lawrence conceived of a remarkable series of paintings that would, in his words, “depict the struggles of a people to create a nation and their attempt to build a democracy.” Initially, he had in mind a grand narrative beginning with the “causes and events leading into the American Revolutionary War” and ending in the early years of the twentieth century. As finally executed, Lawrence’s Struggle s…
T amar H erzog . A Short History of European Law
Tamar Herzog’s A Short History of European Law is a wonderful new survey of European legal history that makes a highly technical and forbidding subject accessible to nonspecialists. It does so by recapturing the field of legal history as a terrain of contestation. There is contestation between lawyers over both the specific rules of law and the more general normative assumptions underpinning the legal order. And there is contestation among legal …
Mary Nyquist. Arbitrary Rule
In this immensely learned, lucid, and challenging study, Mary Nyquist analyzes an early modern phenomenon that she tags “antityrannicism” (p. 1): a form of literature that glorified the ideal of political liberty while denouncing the tyrant who would snuff it out, all the while saying little about (when not actually serving to rationalize) the emerging world of transatlantic slavery. Her compelling project directs us to experience this literature…
The Old Regime and the Haitian Revolution
The Haitian Revolution (1789–1804) was an epochal event that galvanized slaves and terrified planters throughout the Atlantic world. Rather than view this tumultuous period solely as a radical rupture with slavery, Malick W. Ghachem's innovative study shows that emancipation in Haiti was also a long-term product of its colonial legal history. Ghachem takes us deep into this volatile colonial past, digging beyond the letter of the law and vividly …
Prosecuting Torture
In the spring and summer of 1788, a master was prosecuted for the torture of two female slaves in the French Caribbean colony of Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti). The exceptional nature of the case was immediately obvious to the participants who lived through it. The governor and intendant of Saint-Domingue—in essence, the colony's chief military and administrative officers, respectively—described it as a “unique opportunity to arrest, by means…
The Slave's Two Bodies
NE of the more conspicuous paradoxes of slavery's legacy in contemporary America is to have produced two diametrically opposed schools of thought about how best to achieve racial equality. One school, conventionally associated with the policy of affirmative action, holds that it is legitimate for government to make distinctions between persons in terms of their race in order to overcome the continued effects of past racial discrimination. Another…
