  • Reconsidering Human Commodification in Slavery
    Journal of Social History Advance Access published February 4, 2016 NICHOLAS TRINEHART The Man That Was a Thing: Reconsidering Human Commodification in Slavery Abstract Downloaded from This essay examines a longstanding normative assumption in the historiography of slavery in the Atlantic world: that enslaved Africans and their American-born de- scendants were bought and sold as “commodities,” thereby “dehumanizing” them and treating them as things rather than as persons. Such claims have, indeed, helped historians conceptualize how New World slavery contributed to the ongoing http://jsh.oxfordjournals.org/ development of global finance capitalism—namely, that slaves represented capital as well as labor. But the recurring paradigm of the “dehumanized” or “commodi- fied” slave, I argue, obscures more than it reveals. This article suggests that historians of slavery must reconsider the “commodifi- cation” of enslaved humanity. In so doing, it offers three interrelated arguments: first, that scholarship on slavery has not adequately or coherently defined the precise mechanisms by which enslaved people were supposedly “commodified”; second, that the normative position implied by the insistence that persons were treated as things further mystifies or clouds our collective historical vision of en- by guest on December 3, 2016 slavement; and third, that we should abandon a strictly Marxian conception of the commodity—and its close relation to notions of “social death”—in favor of Igor Kopytoff’s theory of the commodity-as-process. It puts forth in closing a reconsti- tuted conceptualization of the slave relation wherein enslaved people are understood as thoroughly human. Book titles tell the story. The original subtitle for Uncle Tom’s Cabin was “The Man Who Was a Thing.” In 1910 appeared a book by Mary White Ovington called Half a Man.

  • THE CAPTAINS in the BRITISH SLAVE TRADE from 1785 to 1807 1
    THE CAPTAINS IN THE BRITISH SLAVE TRADE FROM 1785 to 1807 1 Stephen D. Behrendt In 1972 Frank Sanderson commented that 'no full-scale study of Liverpool and the slave trade has yet been published'. 2 This statement is still true because we know little about the people in the slave trade, whether from a statistical or a biographical viewpoint. For example, we do not know how many different captains were in the slave trade for any period from the late seventeenth century up to 1807, the year parliament abolished the trade. Nor do we know how many firms captains worked for, how many different vessels they sailed, or how many captains later owned slave ships. We also do not have enough biographical information on slave traders to draw any firm conclusions about their geographical and occupational backgrounds. Did Liverpool-based captains come from the Lancashire area? Did they come from commercial backgrounds? Did sons follow their fathers as captains in the slave trade? How many captains died on the African coast or at sea? These questions have been difficult to answer because of the logistical task of compiling accurate lists of captains in the slave trade, the limited number of accounts written by or about slave traders, and, most importantly, the problem of using parish church records as a source of biographical information for a large group of individuals. However, the availability of computer databases is removing these diffi­ culties. I have compiled a database of 2,876 slave voyages from 1785 to 1807 using information from Liverpool and Bristol muster rolls, parliamentary slave-trade lists, Lloyd's 80 .S'.

    A GENERAL HISTORY OF THE PYRATES: FROM THEIR FIRST RISE AND SETTLEMENT IN THE ISLAND OF PROVIDENCE, TO THE PRESENT TIME By Daniel Defoe CHAP. I. OF Captain AVERY, And his CREW. NONE of these bold Adventurers were ever so much talked of, for a while, as Avery; he made as great a Noise in the World as Meriveis does now, and was looked upon to be a Person of as great Consequence; he was represented in Europe, as one that had raised himself to the Dignity of a King, and was likely to be the Founder of a new Monarchy; having, as it was said, taken immense Riches, and married the Great Mogul’s Daughter, who was taken in an IndianShip, which fell into his Hands; and that he had by her many Children, living in great Royalty and State; that he had built Forts, erected Magazines, and was Master of a stout Squadron of Ships, mann’d with able and desperate Fellows of all Nations; that he gave Commissions out in his own Name to the Captains of his Ships, and to the Commanders of his Forts, and was acknowledged by them as their Prince. A Play was writ upon him, called, the Successful Pyrate; and, these Accounts obtained such Belief, that several Schemes were offered to the Council for fitting out a Squadron to take him; while others were for offering him and his Companions an Act of Grace, and inviting them to England, with all their Treasure, least his growing Greatness might hinder the Trade of Europe to the East-Indies.

INCORPORATED 1893. Record Series. VOL. XL. FOR THE YEAR 1908. PAVER'S Marriage Licences. EDITED BY JOHN WM. CLAY, F.S.A., Vice-President of the Yorkshire Archaological Society PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY. 1909. INTRODUCTION. PAVER'S Marriage Licences were begun to be printed by the Yorkshire Archccological Society in Volume VII. of their Journal. They were continued in Volumes IX., X., XL, XII., XIIL, XIV., XVI., XVIL, XX. The Council of the Society having considered that in that form the work would take many years to be finished, decided to transfer it to the ^' Record Series." The present volume takes it up where it was left off in the Journal, viz., from the year 1630, and continues it till the year 1644. Another volume will perhaps complete the work to 17 14, which is the end of the MS. in London. A full account of Paver's MSS. was given in the Journal, Vol. XX., p. 68, but it may be again stated that these licences, which were originally at York, were transcribed by William Paver, the Genealogist, in two volumes, which are at the British Museum, Add. MSS. 29667-8. The original MSS. at York are not believed to be in existence, at least the earlier parts. The entries have been transcribed by Miss Osier, a copyist at the British Museum, and the editor has himself examined most of the proofs with the MSS., so it is hoped that the work is as perfect as possible, though sometimes difficulties have arisen owing to the contractions used by Paver, and to his frequent queries as to the spelling of the names.
