The African Diaspora Hist 5901.3 Paul E. Lovejoy FRSC Distinguished Research Professor Canada Research Chair in African Diaspora History This seminar examines the slave trade and the African diaspora, including the regional and ethnic origins of the enslaved population, the demographic structure of the slave trade, and the cultural disjunctures in the cultural and social experiences of the enslaved population and hence addresses issues of ethnicity, identity, religion and resistance. The course concentrates on the African diaspora in the Americas, beginning with an analysis of the historical context of enslavement in Africa and the subsequent adjustments of enslaved Africans and their descendants to the plantations, mines, and cities of the Americas. The seminar will use the W.E.B. Du Bois database of slaving voyages to identify topics of study, specifically relating to an analysis of gender, age, regional origin, and final destination in determining areas of future research. Linkages with the diaspora and between different parts of the diaspora and Africa will be examined, including the period after the abolition of the slave trade and the emancipation of slaves in the Americas. The development of a parallel diaspora in the Islamic world, both within West Africa and across the Sahara Desert into the heartlands of Islam, will be studied for comparative purposes. Finally, the impact of the external slave trade to the Americas and the Islamic world on western Africa and the related transformations in African history are also considered. Students will write two book reports, each 5-10 pages in length (15% each), and an essay, maximum 20 pages in length (40%) on a research-related topic, such as MRP subject, PhD subject, or a topic to be agreed upon with the instructor. In addition, students will be assessed on their seminar participation (30%).

James Buckwalter Booth Library Research Award Shipboard Insurrections, the British Government and Anglo-American Society in the Early 18th Century My research has focused on slave insurrections on board British ships in the early 18th century and their perceptions both in government and social circles. In all, it uncovers the stark differences in attention given to shipboard insurrections, ranging from significant concern in maritime circles to near ignorance in government circles. Moreover, the nature of discourse concerning slave shipboard insurrections differs from Britons later in the century, when British subjects increasingly began to view the slave trade as not only morally reprehensible, but an area in need of political reform as well.

    Trade and the Merchant Community of the Loango Coast in the Eighteenth Century Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Hull by Stacey Jean Muriel Sommerdyk Honors BA (University of Western Ontario) MA (York University) May 2012 ii Synopsis This thesis explores the political, economic and cultural transformation of the Loango Coast during the era of the transatlantic slave trade from the point of contact with Europeans in the sixteenth century until the end of the eighteenth century, with particular focus on the eighteenth century. While a number of previous studies of the West Central African slave trade have focused principally on the role of the Portuguese on the Angola Coast, this thesis makes a new contribution by evaluating the balance of power between Dutch and Loango Coast merchant communities. In doing so, this thesis concludes that well into the eighteenth century, local African religious and political traditions remained relatively unchanged on the Loango Coast, especially in comparison to their southern neighbours in Angola. Drawing upon detailed records compiled by the Middelburgse Commercie Compangie (MCC), the thesis builds upon an original database which accounts for approximately 10,000 slaves sold by 640 identified African merchants to the Dutch Middelburg Company over the course of 5,000 transactions. Expanding upon the work of Phyllis Martin and other scholars, this thesis highlights a distinction between the Loango and the Angola coasts based on models of engagement with European traders; furthermore, it draws attention to the absence of European credit data in the MCC slave purchasing balance sheets; and, finally, it explores the difficulties involved in procuring slaves via long distance trade.

Pawning in this context refers to the holding of human beings as security for debt or to ensure that treaty obligations be fulfilled. While pawning was an indigenous practice in Upper Guinea, it is proposed here that when the Portuguese arrived in West Africa, they were already familiar with systems of ransoming, especially of members of the nobility. The adoption of pawning and the associated practice of not enslaving members of social elites may be explained by the fact that these customs were already familiar to both the Portuguese and their West African hosts. Vestiges of these social institutions may be found well into the colonial period on the Upper Guinea Coast. 1 The author expresses his gratitude to Jacqueline Knörr and to the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology for the opportunity to carry out the research and writing of this paper. Thanks are also due to the members of the Research Group “Integration and Conflict along the Upper Guinea Coast (West Africa)”, to Marek Mikuš for his comments on an earlier draft, and to Alex Dupuy of Wesleyan University for his insightful comments.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract That Most Perfidious Institution is a study of Africans - slaves and slave owners - and their central roles in both the expansion of slavery in the early nineteenth century and attempts to reform servile relationships in the late nineteenth century. The pivotal place of Africans can be seen in the interaction between indigenous slave-owning elites (aristocrats and urban Euro-African merchants), local European administrators, and slaves themselves. My approach to this problematic is both chronologically and geographically comparative. The central comparison between Senegal and the Gold Coast contrasts the varying impact of colonial policies, integration into the trans-Atlantic economy; and, more importantly, the continuity of indigenous institutions and the transformative agency of indigenous actors.

AFRICANS, CHEROKEES, AND THE ABCFM MISSIONARIES IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY: AN UNUSUAL STORY OF REDEMPTION By Gnimbin Albert Ouattara Under the Direction of Charles G. Steffen ABSTRACT My dissertation, “Africans, Cherokees, and the ABCFM Missionaries in the Nineteenth Century: An Unusual Story of Redemption,” assesses the experience of American missionaries in the Cherokee nation and in Western Africa during the nineteenth century. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM), founded in 1810, was the first successful foreign missionary society in the U.S., and its campaign among the Cherokees served as springboard for its activities in “Western Africa”—Liberia, Ivory Coast, Gabon, and South Africa. Although the Cherokees and the West Africans were two different peoples, the ABCFM used the same method to Christianize them: the Lancasterian method with which the missionaries planned to “civilize” the Cherokees and West Africans before Christianizing them.

    I use this biographical note to describe how I succeeded in doing something no-one has Johannes and Catherine Zimmerman and children done before me. I solved the problem Charles Darwin left behind him and found the long sought for logical proof for his theory of evolution. The leap towards a new solution is rarely linear. My success came by taking a somewhat circuitous path. If I borrow a title from my old tutor, Peter Singer, one of the premier philosophers of our time, then it was the fruit of an exercise in a Practical Ethics that begins in 1737 with Jacobus Capitein who travelled all the way from the Gold Coast to study at the University of Leiden. It continues with the young German Pietist Johannes Zimmerman who arrived in the Jacobus Capitein, 1717–1747 Gold Coast in the mid-nineteenth century as a missionary for the Basel Mission which had been requested, by the Danish government, to oversee the spiritual welfare of the many “mulatto”, or mixed race, children fathered by the officers and men stationed at Fort Christiansborg. Once there, Zimmerman married Catherine Mulgrave. Originally born as Gewe, in Portuguese held Angola, she had arrived in the Gold Coast by way of Jamaica, so pointing to an important West Indian dimension. My path then continued with my good fortune in studying, while an undergraduate at University College, Oxford, with Singer. I garnered success in resolving Darwin because I could combine what I learned from him with what I learned from both my studies in Sanskrit and Indian Philosophy at Oxford University’s Indian Institute, and from my parents.

    The Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies Bibliography on Worship Studies Edited by Mark A. Torgerson, Ph.D. December 2019 The Master and Doctor of Worship Studies programs are based significantly on the eight volumes of The Complete Library of Christian Worship. Numerous articles and bibliographies appear in these volumes. Because they form a basis of knowledge for our program, they will not be cited but once in the reference materials below. The following bibliography covers additional resources (by no means exhaustive), some of which may be required reading for courses in the Master and Doctor of Worship Studies programs. In light of the fact that Christian worship is always embodied within the cultural context of a community, the resources mentioned in the following bibliography will refer to cultural analyses as well as theological studies. Many titles could easily be categorized under several “headings,” so it would be wise to explore multiple areas when building a list of possible resources to examine. Recent titles added to the bibliography are located just after the table of contents. The titles mentioned are also integrated into the bibliography under the appropriate headings.

  • Introduction Rethinking the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade from a Cultural Perspective

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-63471-8 - The Rise of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade in Western Africa, 1300–1589 Toby Green Excerpt More information Introduction Rethinking the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade from a Cultural Perspective In 1725 the English Captain George Roberts wrote a description of the Cabo Verde islands off the coast of West Africa (hereafter, Cabo Verde). He offered a glimpse of the former “glories” of this archipelago, which had been at the heart of the Atlantic world when that world was in the process of its tortured formation. In the late sixteenth century, Roberts wrote, there was “great Trade at St. Jago [the largest and most populous island, today called Santiago], Fuego [Fogo], Mayo, Bona Vista [Boavista], Sal and Brava … especially in Negros. They had Store of Sugar, Salt, Rice, Cotton, Wool, Ambergrease, Civet, Elephants’ Teeth, Brimstone, Pumice- Stone, Spunge, and some Gold”. 1 A close reading of Roberts’s text reveals the source of such riches, for, he wrote, “Saint Jago formerly was the great Market for Negro Slaves, which were sent from thence immediately to the West Indies”. 2 Just four years before Roberts’s book was published, an English sur- geon, John Atkins, travelled between the peninsula of Cape Verde (where present-day Dakar is located; hereafter, the Cape Verde peninsula) and Whydah (present-day Benin). He described how “panyarring is a Term for Man-stealing along the whole Coast”. 3 The headmen he met in the region of present-day C ô te d’Ivoire and Liberia were called caboceers . 4 The term panyarring derived from the Portuguese apanhar , meaning to “catch” or “seize”, and may also have been related to the term penhorar , 1 NGC, Vol.
