HALE Department of the History of Science University of Oklahoma 601 Elm Ave, Rm. 610 Norman, OK 73019 USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The nineteenth century theologian, author and poet Charles Kingsley was a notable populariser of Darwinian evolution. He championed Darwin’s cause and that of honesty in science for more than a decade from 1859 to 1871. Kingsley’s interpretation of evolution shaped his theology, his politics and his views on race. The relationship between men and apes set the context for Kingsley’s consideration of these issues. Having defended Darwin for a decade in 1871 Kingsley was dismayed to read Darwin’s account of the evolution of morals in Descent of Man. He subsequently distanced himself from Darwin’s conclusions even though he remained an ardent evolutionist until his death in 1875.

  • John Eyre, the Morant Bay Rebellion in 1865, and the Racialisation of Western Political Thinking
    wbhr 02|2012 John Eyre, the Morant Bay Rebellion in 1865, and the Racialisation of Western Political Thinking IVO BUDIL The main purpose of this study is to analyze the process of so-called ra- cialisation of the Western thinking in a concrete historical context of Brit- ish colonial experience in the second half of the nineteenth century. For most authors, the concept of racialisation was related to the Europeans´ response to their encounter with overseas populations in the course of global Western expansion from the early modern age. Frantz Fanon de- scribed the phenomenon of racialisation as a process by which the Euro- pean colonists created the “negro” as a category of degraded humanity: a weak and utterly irrational barbarism, incapable of self-government.1 However, I am convinced that the post-colonial studies established by Eric Williams and his followers emphasizing the role of racism as a strategy of vindication and reproduction of Western hegemony over overseas socie- ties and civilizations tend to neglect or disregard the emergence and the whole intellectual development of the racial vision of the human history and society with various functions, impacts and role within the Western civilization itself. Ivan Hannaford stressed that the idea of ancient Greeks to see peo- ple not in terms of their origin, blood relations, or somatic features, but in terms of membership of a public arena presented a crucial political achievement and breakthrough in human history.2 It created the concept of free political space we live in since

  • COM 9660 Jodi-‐Ann Morris 1 the Morant Bay Rebellion of 1865 Was
    COM 9660 Jodi-Ann Morris The Morant Bay Rebellion of 1865 was one of the major events in JamaiCan history, while under British rule, that stirred muCh debate on the lives of BlaCks. This rebellion was Catalyzed by the disCrimination, laCk of voting rights and soCial and eConomic inequality many BlaCks faCed in the years after slavery ended. In this uprising, there were some players that played signifiCant roles in the revolt. These persons are George William Gordon, Paul Bogle and Governor Edward (John) Eyre. These men defined JamaiCan history not only with their aCtions, words and tenaCity but also with the aid publiCations and printed material. Paul Bogle and George William Gordon was advoCate for the better treatments of the poor and ill- treated in Jamaica. Gordon, the son of an affluent white Jamaican planter and a Negro slave, he was eduCated, free and had a growing reputation as a wealthy farmer and “aCtive reformer” in changing societal inequalities. Paul Bogle was a Baptist minister, who had befriended Gordon, was very voCal in his Community about the injustiCes taking plaCe in the Country. There were several ways that they employed in order to get their ideas to those affected. One of the ways they did this was through Gordon’s newspaper, Jamaica Watchman and the People’s Free Press. In one of its publication, it made mention of the “Underhill Convention” whiCh was created as a result of a letter written by Edward Bean Underhill, the seCretary of the Baptist Missionary SoCiety that was made publiC. In this letter, he talks about the struggle that the people are facing the lack of paid work acCompany with high taxation and little to no politiCal or judiCial rights.

  • The M Orant Bay Rebellion
    The Morant Bay Rebellion: Its Novelists and Historians Gad Heuman (Coventry) Introduction The Morant Bay Rebellion broke out in Jamaica on October 11, 1865. On that day, several hundred black people marched into the town of Morant Bay, the capital of the predominately sugar-growing parish of St. Thomas in the east. They pillaged the police station of its weapons and then confronted the volunteer militia which had been called up to protect the meeting of the vestry, the political body which administered the parish. Fighting erupted between the militia and the crowd and, by the end of the day, the crowd had killed eighteen people and wounded thirty-one others. Seven members of the crowd died. In the days which followed, bands of people in different parts of the parish killed two planters and threatened the lives of many others. The disturbances spread across the parish of St. Thomas in the east, from its western border with St. David to its northern boundary with Portland. The response of the Jamaican authorities was swift and brutal. Making use of the army, Jamaican forces, and the Maroons (formerly a commu­ nity of runaway slaves who were now an irregular but effective army of the colony), the government vigorously put down the rebellion. In the process, nearly 500 people were killed and hundreds of others seriously wounded. The nature of the suppression led to demands in England for an official inquiry, and a royal commission subsequently took evidence in Jamaica on the disturbances for nearly three months. Its conclusions were critical of the governor, Edward John Eyre, and of the severe repression in the wake of the rebellion.

  • The Carlyle Society Papers
    THE CARLYLE SOCIETY SESSION 2008-2009 OCCASIONAL PAPERS 21 • Edinburgh 2008 1 2 President’s Letter Ecclefechan had a bit of a shock this year as the Society descended on the Arched House, and Dumfries-shire looks set for another shock in September when an international conference on the Carlyles is due to be held in the Crichton Campus of Glasgow University, in Dumfries – with which our society has close associations through one of our members who worked there for many years. This is encouraging news for there will be a good international audience, and there will be an opportunity to bring welcome publicity to Craigenputtoch as well as to the better-known Carlyle localities. As we approach a year which will be very much dominated by Burns, it’s good to know that Carlyle continues to have a share of scholarly attention – and as every year, another volume of the Collected Letters appears, bringing the story well into the 1860s. The Carlyle Letters Online project, bringing over 30 volumes onto the internet, has been a conspicuous success, and its importance will grow steadily as people over the world access it, and we add to it from the volumes which are created in Edinburgh each year. We have some new speakers this coming year, and a very varied programme: and some welcome returning familiar speakers. Our thanks, as always, to the University of Edinburgh, and to the many society members who in inconspicuous ways keep the society alive and growing. 2009 will see the appearance of Aileen Christianson’s Thomas Green lecture as a separate publication, and we hope to keep the tradition alive with Tom Toremans in 2008.

Further, the methods employed to quell the insur­ rection raised issues as to the legitimacy of state-applied force when endeavoring to bring social order to a "less enlightened" foreign nation living under British occupation. The Jamaica affair is therefore a historical morality play that resonates with despairing familiarity to the contemporary ear.
