  • An African Slave in Guernsey by Brycchan Carey
    1 Olaudah Equiano: An African Slave in Guernsey by Brycchan Carey It is sometimes said that there were no slaves in Guernsey and, clearly, the island was not a major centre of slave-trading. However, its geographical position ensured that throughout the era of slavery, approximately from the end of the fifteenth to the middle of the eighteenth centuries, it was visited by ships from major slave-trading ports such as Bristol, Nantes, St. Malo, and Amsterdam, as well as by ships from the many smaller slave-trading towns and villages found in every country in Western Europe. Most of these ships would have carried few or no slaves. The notorious ‘triangular trade’ was so named to describe the process by which European manufactured goods were shipped to Africa, African slaves were shipped to the New World, and the produce of the slave-worked plantations was shipped back to Europe. Most of the ships involved in the slave trade that docked at Guernsey would thus have been carrying hammers, knives, and muskets, or sugar, cotton, and tobacco, rather than a human cargo. Nevertheless, these ships were as much a part of the slave trade as they were when carrying slaves in the middle passage. In addition, although the notion of a ‘triangular trade’ reflects a general pattern of behaviour, in practice there was often considerable deviation from the pattern. Some slaves were indeed brought to Europe, and were sold openly in Bristol, London, and Liverpool, as well as in Nantes, Marseilles, and St. Malo. In the eighteenth century in particular, aristocratic women were presented with child slaves to treat as if they were exotic pets.

  • ICASSI 1983, Guernsey, England
    ICASSI 1983, Guernsey, England Enthusiasm or ICASSI 1983 began when Toni Towns showed slides of the beauty spots of Guernsey to those at ICASSI in Badgastein 1982. Images of flower gardens, Guernsey cows peacefully grazing, and the cliffs and white beaches remain as vivid memories long after ICASSI ended. The Isle of Guernsey was as beautiful as promised. However, it is always the people who make ICASSI such a rich experience. ICASSI for many people begins upon seeing the first familiar faces in the distant places. As Margaret Crosby puts it, people come to ICASSI “for our annual infusion of Gemeinschaftsgefühl”. On her way to Guernsey she met faculty member Bill Linden on the ferry between Weymouth and Guernsey and found it a “pun filled crossing and good omen that our first ICASSI on English soil would be a blast”. A special first time participant was an Australian, Maurice Balsan, from Monash University, who had taken a course from Eva Ferguson in the 60s. This marked the beginning of many more Australians coming to ICASSI in subsequent years. Representatives of the St Peter Port Chamber of Commerce met people at the dock. British hospitality was at its best in St Peter Port that summer. Members of ICASSI were constantly amazed at the lengths to which their hosts went to make their stay pleasant. Laundry, special foods, and journeys around the island were provided. ICASSI itself was a study in contrasts. Bloc 1 was held in Beau Sejour, an ultra- modern community center complete with game rooms, pool, theatre, and classrooms.

In 1814 it remained largely French-speaking, though it had been politically British for 600 years. The island's only town, St Peter Port (which in 1814 accommodated over half the population) had during the previous century developed a thriving commercial sector with strong links to England, whose cultural influence it began to absorb. The rural hinterland was, by contrast, characterised by a traditional autarkic regime more redolent of pre­ industrial France. By 1914, the population had doubled, but St Peter Port's share had fallen to 43 percent.
