Abstract:
Racial slavery was a critical element in the cultural development of the Choctaws and was a derivative of the peculiar institution in southern states. The idea of genial and hospitable slave owners can no more be conclusively demonstrated for the Choctaws than for the antebellum South. The participation of Choctaws in the Civil War and formal alliance with the Confederacy was dominantly influenced by the slaveholding and a connection with southern identity, but was also influenced by financial concerns and an inability to remain neutral than a protection of the peculiar institution. Had the Civil War not taken place, the rate of Choctaw slave ownership possibly would have reached the level of southern states and the Choctaws would be considered part of the South.

Abstract:
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD
This thesis aims to explore Indian forced migration to the Cape Colony from 1658 to 1834. The forgotten diaspora‘ of its title refers to the first Indians who had come to the shores of South Africa, long before the arrival—between 1860 and 1911—of the indentured Indians. This diaspora has been forgotten, partially because these migrants came as slaves. The author uses data extracted from the newly transcribed Master of the Orphan Chamber (MOOC) series and slave transfers which are housed in the Western Cape Provincial Archives and Records Service (WCARS). The Cape colonial data is considered among the best in the world. Earlier historians such as Victor de Kock, Anna Böeseken, Frank Bradlow and Margaret Cairns, have made us aware of their existence primarily through Transportenkennis and Schepenkennis (transport and shipping information) documents in the Deeds Registry. Not nearly enough, however, is known about these Indian slaves, especially about those who arrived between 1731 and 1834. These lacunae include the number of arrivals; their sex ratios; ages and origins; and the circumstances under which they came. This thesis aims to construct a census of Indian slaves brought to the Cape from 1658 to 1834—along the lines of Philip Curtin's aggregated census of the Trans- Atlantic slave trade, but based on individual case level data coded directly from primary sources. This is the first time the size of the creole population born at the Cape will be established.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores visual representations of British West Indian sugar in relation to the African slave trade practiced during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. During this time, sugar played a vital role to the lives of both European and non-Europeans as it was a source of great wealth for many and became transformed into one of the most demanded and widely consumed commodity. From the earliest days of British colonization, the cultivation and production of sugar in the Caribbean has been inextricably linked with the trade in African slaves to provide free labor for plantation owners and planters. This thesis considers how European artists visually represented sugar in its various forms---as an object for botanical study, as landscape and as consumable commodity---and in so doing, constructed specific ideas about the African slave body and the use of African slave labor that reflected personal and imperial agendas and ideologies.

Abstract:
This study seeks to explore the nature and activities of the anti-abolitionists in the era of British abolition. There were Britons who actively opposed the idea of abolishing the slave trade and West Indian slavery. They published works promoting and defending the trade and the institution of slavery. They challenged abolitionist assertions and claims about life in the colonies and the nature of the slaves and attacked the sentimental nature of abolitionist rhetoric. Proslavery MPs argued in Parliament for the maintenance of slavery and the slave trade. Members of the West Indian interest formed committees to produce their own propaganda and petitions. They also worked with Parliament to develop strategies to ameliorate slavery and end British slaveholding, whilst securing several more years of plantation labour and financial compensation for slaveholders. Politicians, writers, members of the West Indian interest, and their supporters actively fought to maintain colonial slavery and the prosperity of Britain and the colonies. A wide range of sources has been employed to reveal the true nature of the proslavery arguments advanced in Britain in the era of abolition. These include committee minutes, petitions, pamphlets, reviews, manuals, travel writing, scientific studies, political prints, portraits, poetry and song, plays, and the records of every parliamentary debate on slavery, the slave trade, and the West Indian colonies. Specific proslavery and anti-abolitionist arguments have been identified and analysed using these sources, with some commentary on how the setting or genre potentially impacted on the argument being presented. This analysis reveals that economic, racial, legal, historical, strategic, religious, moral, and humanitarian arguments were all used to counter the growing popularity of abolition and emancipation. Proslavery rhetoric in Parliament is also analysed, revealing an active proslavery side committed to fighting abolition. Overall, this study contributes to our current understanding of the timing, nature, and reception of British abolition in Britain by showing that the process was influenced by a serious debate.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the American Civil War in Indian Territory, focusing on how clashing visions of sovereignty within the Five Tribes—Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole—led to the one the most violent and relatively unknown chapters of the Civil War. Particular attention is paid to the first two years of the war, highlighting why the Five Tribes allied with Confederacy, and why those alliances failed over time. Chapter One examines Indian Territory as a borderland, unveiling how various actors within that borderland, including missionaries, Indian agents, white neighbors in Arkansas and Texas, and Indians themselves shaped Native American decision-making and convinced acculturated tribal elites to forge alliances with the Confederacy. These alliances, however, did not represent the sentiments of many traditionalist Indians, and anti-Confederate Creeks, Seminoles, and African-Americans gathered under the leadership of dissident Creek chief Opothleyahola. Cultural divisions within the Five Tribes, and differing visions of sovereignty in the future, threatened to undermine Indian-Confederate alliances. Chapter Two investigates the Confederacy’s 1861 winter campaign designed to quell Opothleyahola’s resistance to Confederate authority. This campaign targeted enemy soldiers and civilians alike, and following a series of three engagements Opothleyahola’s forces were decisively defeated in December. During this campaign, however, schisms with the Confederate Cherokees became apparent. In the weeks that followed, Confederate forces pursued the men, women, and children of Opothelyahola’s party as they fled north across the frozen landscape for the relative safety of Kansas. The military campaign waged in 1861, and the untold suffering heaped upon thousands of civilians that winter, exposes how a hard, violent war rapidly emerged within the Confederate borderland, complicating historians’ depiction of a war that instead grew hard over time.

Chapter Three documents the return of Federal forces to the borderland via the First Indian Expedition of 1862. Although the expedition was a military failure, the sudden presence of Union forces in the region permanently split the Cherokee tribe into warring factions. The Cherokee, Creek, and Seminole tribes spent the next three years fighting their own intra-tribal civil wars. Moreover, the appearance and retreat of Federal forces from Indian Territory created a geopolitical vacuum, which would be filled by guerrilla violence and banditry. The failure of either Confederate or Union forces to permanently secure Indian Territory left Indian homelands ripe for violence and lawlessness. The thesis concludes by evaluating the cost of the conflict. One-third of the Cherokee Nation perished during the war; nearly one-quarter of the Creek population died in the conflict. By war’s end, two-thirds of Indian Territory’s 1860 population had become refugees. Urged to war by outsiders and riven with their own intra-tribal strife, Native Americans of the Five Tribes suffered immensely during the Civil War, victims of one of the most violent, lethal, and unknown chapters in American history.

Abstract:
There are a lot of Swedish people who are aware of former Swedish colonies. St. Barthélemy in the West Indies, has many streets and towns named after Swedish people, exemplified by the capital Gustavia, named after King Gustav III. What many fail to learn about however, is the fact that slavery and slave trade is a relatively large part of Sweden’s cultural heritage. These are events that Sweden doesn’t seem to want to remember.   This study aims to look at Swedish history books to study historical writing about Sweden’s involvement in slavery and slave trade. The study will also analyze the social debate regarding slavery in Swedish newspapers, in an effort to showcase why these historical events have been forgotten and purposely evaded. The study will make use of theoretical standpoints revolving around historiography and use of history.   The results show that social debates in Swedish newspapers is largely in agreement regarding the grim nature of slavery and the shameful historical events that transpire. In addition to this, the papers seem to be in agreement regarding the need to address this part of Sweden’s history in an effort to tackle future conflicts facing multicultural countries such as Sweden. In regard to history books, the result is telling. In essence, history outside of Europe has been neglected, and thus Sweden has been allowed to create their own historical narrative, leaving slave trade beyond the horizon.

Abstract:
This study demonstrates that both government officials' and the settlers' perceptions of the Seminoles and Black Seminoles in Florida were highly influenced by their paternalistic and Jeffersonian world views. These perceptions also informed their policies concerning the Seminoles and Black Seminoles. The study is separated into three sections. The first chapter covers the years of 1820-1823. This section argues that until 1823, most settlers and government officials viewed the Seminoles as noble savages that were dependent on the U.S. Furthermore, most of these individuals saw the Black Seminoles as being secure among the Seminole Indians and as no threat to white authority. The second chapter covers the years of 1823-1828 and demonstrates that during this time most settlers began to view Seminoles outside of the reservation as threats to the frontier in Florida. This reflected the Jeffersonian world view of the settlers. Government officials, on the contrary, continued to believe that the Seminole Indians were noble savages that were no threat to the frontier because of their paternal world view. Both groups by 1828 wanted the Seminoles and Black Seminoles separated. The final chapter covers the years of 1829-1836. It argues that by 1835 both settlers and government officials believed that the Seminoles and Black Seminoles were clear threats to the frontier because of the fear of a slave revolt and the beginning of Seminole resistance to removal. Most of the shifts in the perception of the Seminoles and Black Seminoles by government officials and the settlers were the result of their white gender and racial world views that then in turn affected their policies towards the Seminoles and Black Seminoles.

Abstract:
My dissertation examines the transmission and establishment of the institution of slavery from medieval Iberia into the expanding Spanish Empire and its subsequent development. This involves understanding the dynamic interactions between the law, imperial institutions, slave owners, and the enslaved. I embarked upon this subject in response to a lacuna of historical knowledge of the transition and development of slavery as it moved between the Iberian Kingdoms and took root in the expanding Atlantic Empires. Without understanding the medieval background of imperial law it is impossible to understand the particular development of the institution of slavery in Spanish America.

Abstract:
This study examines the roles of white loyalists, Indians and African-Americans in the British effort to regain control of South Carolina and Georgia during the American Revolution, 1775--1782.;British officials believed that support from these three groups would make the conquest of the Deep South colonies a relatively easy task. But when the British launched a major effort to regain first Georgia and then South Carolina, the attempt ultimately ended in failure. Most historians have explained this outcome by arguing that British planning was faulty in its conception, and that officials overestimated both the numbers of southern loyalists and the effectiveness of Indian support.;A detailed account of the contributions loyalists, Indians and slaves made to British operations in the South demonstrates the scope and effectiveness of this support, and concludes that neither a lack of assistance from these three groups nor poorly conceived plans were responsible for British failure to regain control of Georgia and South Carolina. Rather, British leaders failed to coordinate effectively the efforts of their supporters in the Deep South, largely because they did not recognize that the peoples on whom they counted for aid had disparate interests and a history of mutual animosity that needed to be overcome to achieve their full cooperation. Furthermore, the British never provided their supporters with adequate protection from regular troops, which allowed the American rebels to undertake a brutal campaign of suppression against all who favored the royal cause. Although loyalists, Indians, and slaves strove valiantly to aid the British in the face of such persecution, the violence eventually took its toll and enabled the rebels to overcome their opponents.

A research on the issue of guardianship and freedom of the Indians in the second half of the century XVIII. The new regime intended to make the Indian chiefs allies of the Portuguese monarchy, incorporating them into the system. But this was not possible, alliances were only circumstantial. The villages turned into towns and places are "contact zones" where cultural exchanges and processes of ethnic and cultural mix occur. The Indian chiefs were subject living between two different worlds, they were the threshold of the frontier between these worlds, the filter through which the ideas of the Western Christian world passed. With the implementation of the Directory and the new laws of freedom of the Indians, the Indian chiefs felt threatened in their power by the presence the directors. According to the project Mendonça Furtado towns and places become spaces of confinement, where there should be strict control of manpower and production. However, this system eventually become fragile allowing great mobility for the Indians who constantly moved to work in the king's works, such as the construction of fortresses or expeditions in delimiting boundaries. In the Inspections made in the villages and places there were many Indians absent for reasons of escape and / or desertion, or by being in the service of the crown and often not reached the number of persons determined by the Directory to the villages that were 150 "souls". The same proportion as the slave raids intensified, also intensified the trails and formation of mocabos. Although the directory has not served its purpose expiring in Kingdom of Queen Mary I, its model has influenced Indian policy until the early twentieth century, in the Amazon and in Brazil as a whole
Uma pesquisa sobre a questão da tutela e da liberdade dos índios na segunda metade do séc. XVIII. O novo regime pretendia fazer dos Principais aliados da coroa portuguesa, incorporando-os ao sistema. Porém isto não foi possível, as alianças eram apenas circunstanciais. As aldeias transformadas em vilas e lugares são zonas de contato onde ocorrem as trocas culturais e processos de miscigenação étnica e cultural. Os principais eram sujeitos que viviam entre dois mundos diversos, eles eram o limiar da fronteira entre estes mundos, o filtro por onde passavam as idéias do mundo cristão ocidental. Com a implantação do Diretório e as novas leis de liberdade dos índios, os principais se sentiram ameaçados em seu poder pela presença dos diretores. De acordo com o projeto de Mendonça Furtado as vilas e lugares se tornariam espaços de confinamento, onde deveria haver um controle rígido da mão-de-obra e produção. Porém, este sistema acabou por se tornar frágil, possibilitando uma grande mobilidade para os índios que constantemente se deslocavam para trabalhar nas obras do rei, como por exemplo, na construção de fortalezas ou nas expedições demarcadoras de limites. Nas correições feitas às vilas e lugares havia grande quantidade de índios ausentes por motivos de fuga e/ou deserção, ou por estarem a serviço da coroa e muitas vezes não se atigia o número de pessoas determinado pelo Diretório para as vilas que era de 150 almas . Na mesma proporção que se intensificavam os descimentos, também se intensificavam as fugas e formações de mocabos. Embora o Diretório não tenha cumprido os seus propósitos extinguindo-se no Reinado de D. Maria I, o seu modelo influenciou a política indigenista até o início do século XX, na Amazônia e no Brasil como um todo

Esta dissertação tem o objetivo de analisar a colonização e conquista da região do Paraguaçu, na capitania da Bahia. A presença de colonizadores, imigrantes europeus na década de 1530 intensificou o movimento de conquista e povoamento do litoral. O sertão, que era caracterizado pelo território ainda não colonizado, só teve uma política efetiva de conquista a partir da segunda metade do século XVII. Contudo, essa conquista não ocorreu de forma pacífica, os grupos indígenas, habitantes das regiões a serem conquistadas, não se submeteram ao domínio português sem lutar pela sua liberdade. Bem como os mocambos, comunidades formadas no sertão por escravos africanos e seus descendentes, que também eram considerados empecilho para o povoamento da América portuguesa. Esses dois grupos, ambos presentes no Paraguaçu, diante do contexto da conquista do sertão, passaram a desenvolver novas formas de relacionamento entre si, o que também se tornou objeto de estudo desta dissertação.

Abstract:
This literary/historical novel details the life of African-American Deputy US Marshal Bass Reeves between the years 1838-1862 and 1883-1884. One plotline depicts Reeves’s youth as a slave, including his service as a body servant to a Confederate cavalry officer during the Civil War. Another plotline depicts him years later, after Emancipation, at the height of his deputy career, when he has become the most feared, most successful lawman in Indian Territory, the largest federal jurisdiction in American history and the most dangerous part of the Old West. A preface explores the uniqueness of this project’s historical relevance and literary positioning as a neo-slave narrative, and addresses a few liberties that I take with the historical record.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the Royal Navy’s suppression of the slave trade in the western Indian Ocean between 1858 and the mid 1890s. Previous studies of this activity have offered narrative-style histories which have focused on operational matters and the diplomatic background. As such, scholars have written a naval history of slave-trade suppression. This thesis, in contrast, adopts an interdisciplinary approach, and engages with new material and new themes in order to place the anti-slavery campaign firmly in the social and cultural context of late-nineteenth-century Britain and its empire. Using sources such as letters, journals, diaries, memoirs, published and� unpublished accounts, graphical representations, and a range of representations of the campaign as portrayed in popular British culture, the aim is to shift the emphasis from the official story of slave-trade suppression. This perspective significantly broadens understanding of the social and cultural background of the campaign. Building on the work of historians such as Catherine Hall and others, the approach taken emphasises how ideas and identities were shaped through imperial connections and encounters with foreign ‘others’. An understanding of how naval officers perceived the slave trade in the western Indian Ocean region, as well as its cultures and peoples, and how this was represented, sheds new light on how the British public also viewed the region. A crucial question which underpins this thesis is how racial attitudes and anti-slavery sentiment intersected in this period of high imperialism. In recovering these attitudes, some of the main points of thinking about race, empire and British national identity during the late-Victorian period are highlighted.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the published writing about the British Caribbean, by white women, in the years 1770-1845. The study includes travel accounts, published histories, natural histories, diaries, letters and novels, which represent a range of views on slavery from anti-slavery to pro-slavery. White women's writing from the Caribbean remains a neglected topic, despite pioneering work about North America, and some of the texts I examine have not previously been used in a study of slavery in the British West Indies. As well as using these `new' sources, the thesis also makes a theoretical contribution to the study of slavery in the Caribbean. Texts are deconstructed in order to analyse the powerful images of `race' and racism present in women's writing. It is argued that white women travellers and novelists played an important role in imperialism in contributing to contemporary discourses on racism and white superiority. I suggest that even `anti'-slavery texts contained powerful negative images of slaves and of the free black and mixed-origins populations. The thesis also suggests that white women accepted white male patriarchy in slave society, and even contributed to their own gender oppression by their glorification of stereotypical female gender characteristics.

Abstract:
Cette thèse tente d’écrire l'histoire de la servitude - l'esclavage, la dépendance et le travail forcé dans le nord-est de l'Inde du point de vue de l'histoire globale, sous des formes d'enchevêtrements et de connexions et ce, entre le début du dix-neuvième siècle et du vingtième siècle. Elle cherche à savoir pourquoi certains types de récits sur l'esclavage sont devenus dominants dans la région (dont la délimitation forme une frontière) en raison des dites connexions alors que, dans un même temps, l’utilisation certains des apports les moins connus remet en question ces positions. La thèse essaie également de déterminer comment le travail sous la forme de travail forcé dans la région est devenu une forme prédominante mise à l’œuvre et utilisée par le gouvernement colonial dans ses efforts pour ouvrir la région et la mettre en contact avec différentes parties de l'empire. Cela passe également par le débat et le processus par lesquels le gouvernement colonial a résolu et normalisé la relation entre l'esclavage et le travail forcé face à de nouvelles critiques de missionnaires et de citoyens locaux et soutient que l'utilisation d'un langage juridique était cruciale dans ce discours. La thèse traite également de la question étroitement liée de la manière dont les gens ont résisté à ce processus de normalisation et de changements, et enfin questionne la manière dont cette normalisation a affecté certains groupes de personnes et de tribus - en particulier les femmes et les enfants
The thesis is an attempt to write the history of servitude – slavery, dependency, and forced labour in the North-East India from the global history perspective in the forms of entanglements and connections between the early nineteenth and early twentieth century. It addresses the questions of why certain kinds of narratives on slavery became dominant in the region (being demarcated as a frontier) as a result of these connections, and at the same time using some of the less known accounts challenges these positions. It also tries to locate how labour in the form of forced labour in the region became the predominant form that was extracted and used by the colonial government in its effort to open up the region and connect it with different parts of the empire. It also goes through the debate and the process through which the colonial government resolved and normalized the relation of slavery and forced labour in the face of an emerging critics from missionaries and public back home and argues that the use of legal language was crucial to this discourse. The thesis also deals with the closely related question of how people resisted to this process of normalization and changes, and finally the question of how these normalization affected certain groups of people and tribes – especially women and children

Abstract:
This dissertation explores and analyzes anti-imperial sentiments in Britain throughout the long eighteenth century. During this period of major British state formation and imperial expansion, there were a surprisingly large number of observers who voiced notable and varied concerns and opposition towards numerous overseas ventures, yet who have not since received significant attention within the historical record. Indeed, many critics of British imperialism and empire-building, from within Britain itself, formed extensive and thoughtful assessments of their own nation’s conduct in the world. Criticism ranged widely, from those who opposed the high economic costs of imperial expansion to those worried that a divine retribution would rain down upon Britain for injustices committed by Britons abroad. Such diversity of anti-imperial perspectives came from a clearly enlightened minority, whose limited influences upon broader public opinions had little effect on policies at the time. Successive British administrations and self-interested Britons who sought their fortunes and adventures abroad, often with little regard for the damage inflicted on those whom they encountered, won the political debate over empire-building. However, in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, the perspectives of many of these individuals would increasingly become highly regarded. Later generations of reformers, particularly “Little Englanders”, or classical liberals and radicals, would look back reverently to these critics to draw inspiration for refashioning the empire and Britain’s position in the world. These eighteenth century ideas continued to present powerful counter-arguments to the trends then in place and served to inspire those, in the centuries that followed, who sought to break the heavy chains of often despotic colonial rule and mitigate the ravages of war and conquest.

Abstract:
La traite des esclaves à Madagascar a provoqué de changements importants tout au long du XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, aussi bien sur le plan politique, qu’économique et social. Les Néerlandais et les Français, présents à la colonie du Cap et aux Mascareignes étaient des acteurs de taille dans ces interactions commerciales complexes et symboliques. Des transformations sont perceptibles dès les premiers contacts, non seulement au sein des grands royaumes sakalava et betsimisaraka mais également jusqu’aux régions les plus recluses. Pourtant, les relations commerciales se complexifient dans la longue durée. En effet, une certaine continuité est identifiable sur toute la période étudiée. Le commerce maritime qui jouait un rôle primordial dans ces développements, concernait riz, bétail et captifs échangés contre piastres, armes à feu et toiles. Il a bouleversé la balance des pouvoirs et l’économie de la Grande Île. Le volume de la traite, calculé à partir de centaines d’expéditions néerlandaise et française, était déjà très substantiel avant le milieu du XVIIIe siècle
The slave trade on Madagascar provoked important changes in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, both politically, economically and socially. The Dutch and the French, present on Cape Colony and the Mascarene Islands, were important players in these commercial, but complex and symbolic, interactions. The transformations are detectable from the first contact onwards, not only in the great kingdoms of Sakalava and Betsimisaraka but also in the most secluded areas. However, commercial relations complexified in the longue durée. Indeed, a certain continuity is identifiable during this entire period. The maritime commerce, which played a primary role in these developments, concerned rice, cattle and slaves bartered for Spanish dollars, firearms and textiles. The slave trade disturbed the balance of powers and the economy of the Big Island. The volume of the trade, calculated from hundreds expeditions done by the Dutch and the French, was already very substantial before the middle of the eighteenth century

Abstract:
This is an investigation and analysis of the institution of indentured servitude in the English colonies of Virginia and Barbados in the first half of the seventeenth century. It argues that the system of indentured servitude contributed to the development of property rights in individuals and thereby provided early examples of treating people as property that would ultimately lead to the rise of chattel slavery in both colonies. It investigates servitude in law, politics, and practice providing examples of the treatment, trade, and resistance of servants throughout this period. Included are chapters examining the trade in servants and a statistical breakdown of the servant population, a comparison of the practice of servitude in both colonies, and a description of the factors that led to the eventual transition to black slavery.

Abstract:
O presente trabalho contém uma leitura do processo de incorporação colonial das populações indígenas assentadas no sul do continente americano durante o século XVII, a partir de seu envolvimento forçado em padrões temporais de trabalho estranhos àqueles a que estavam, até então, habituados. A análise tem como foco geográfico a área planaltina de São Paulo, onde na época foram instalados sítios e fazendas agrícolas cuja produção comercial empregou centenas de nativos. Argumenta-se que os variados grupos indígenas situados então naquelas partes, a despeito da sua diversidade, compartilhavam análogos padrões de assentamento e expectativas relacionadas ao trabalho produtivo. Progressivamente, tais expectativas foram sendo inviabilizadas pela subsunção forçada daqueles grupos a uma estrutura complexa de produção de excedentes de cujos controle, sentido e ritmos de trabalho eles se encontravam, grosso modo, alienados. Tentativas de restabelecimento da situação anterior originaram reações violentas, bem como fugas individuais e coletivas, práxis de um momento crucial da história colonial paulista.
This work contains a reading of the process of colonial incorporation of the indigenous people resident in the south of the American continent during the seventeenth century, initiate with his forced involvement in new temporal patterns of work, strange in comparison to those who were accustomed before. The analysis has a geographical focus in the up-area of São Paulo, where at the time were installed sites and farms whose commercial production employed hundreds of natives. We argue that the large number of those indigenous groups, despite their diversity, shared a similar pattern of settlement and expectations related to productive labour. Increasingly, these expectations were unviable by the incorporation of those Indians in a complex structure of production of surplus whose control, direction and rhythms of work they were in general alienated. Restoration attempts of their previous situation had originated violent reactions and individual or collective leaks, a práxis in a crucial moment of São Paulo colonial history.

Abstract:
Les nombreux travaux portant sur les Indiens à l’île Bourbon / La Réunion ont apporté une bonne connaissance de cette communauté, mais se sont essentiellement intéressés au groupe des travailleurs engagés au XIXe siècle, surtout après 1848. Cette étude, qui s’inscrit dans le cadre des subaltern studies, a pour but de mettre en lumière ce que signifie être un Indien de la société bourbonnaise au XVIIIe siècle. Depuis la mise en culture du café au début du XVIIIe siècle jusqu’à l’abolition de l’esclavage en 1848, les Indiens ne forment pas un groupe homogène puisque certains sont amenés comme main-d’œuvre servile et d’autres sont engagés comme travailleurs libres. Les conditions de vie de ces deux groupes sont différentes. L’étude, qui exploite les fiches 480 individuelles de recensement, porte sur leur nombre, la répartition par sexe, leur localisation spatiale dans la colonie, leur habitat. En interrogeant les archives notariales, les portes des foyers qui s’entrouvrent, dévoilent ainsi les espaces de l’intimité (espace de vie, du repas, du repos, du travail) et offrent une bonne vision de la formation des couples, des relations familiales et extra familiales
The many studies on the Indians at Bourbon Island / Reunion brought a good knowledge of this community, but were mainly interested in the group of workers engaged in the nineteenth century, especially after 1848. This study, which is part of the subaltern studies, aims to highlight what it means to be an Indian in Bourbon society in the eighteenth century. From coffee cultivation in the early eighteenth century to the abolition of slavery in 1848, Indians did not form a homogenous group, some were brought in as slave labor and others were engaged as free workers. The living conditions of these two groups are different. The study wonders about their number, the distribution by sex, their spatial location in the colony, their habitat. By interrogating the notarial archives, the doors of the homes that open up, reveal the spaces of intimacy (space for living, meals, rest, work) and offer a good vision of the formation of couples, relationships family and extrafamily

Abstract:
Cette recherche se penche sur l’expérience historique de la population afro-descendante et indienne originaire des Basses Terres de Charcas, faisant partie de la servitude dans la ville de La Plata, entre 1560 et 1650. À travers les principaux critères des discours normatifs, et d’autres discours sociaux, l’on peut ici discerner de quelle manière se construit l’image publique des personnes esclavisées. Dans la logique des relations de pouvoir, apparaît, avec des caractères distinctifs, le traitement particulier que cette société multi-ethnique réserve aux nombreux membres de la servitude. Bien qu’il rend compte de la violence des pratiques esclavagistes, ce travail cherche à démontrer que l’expérience du sujet captif n’est pas limitée à la sphère de la soumission mais possède une dimension sociale plus large. Même fortement conditionnée, son image n’est pas déterminée par des préjugés phénotypiques, et ne dépend pas de liens avec une quelconque ancestralité, mais, au contraire, s’inscrit dans un jeu de complexes interactions sociales face l’ordre colonial
This research examines the historical experience of the Afro-descendant and indigenous population from the Lowlands of Charcas who were in servitude in the city of La Plata between 1560 and 1650. Through the main criteria of normative discourse, and of other social discourses, we can discern how the public image of the enslaved people was constructed. Whitin the logic of power relations, appears, with distinctive characteristics, the particular treatment that this multiethnic society gave to its noumerous members in situation of servitude. Although it takes into account the violence of slavery practices, this work seeks to demonstrate that the experience of the captive subject was not limited to the sphere of submission, but that it had a wider social dimension. Even strongly if conditioned by phenotypic prejudices, its image was not determined and did not depend on its ties to any ancestry, but, on the contrary, was part of a complex context of social interactions within the colonial order

Neste contexto surgem novas vilas e povoados (locais de abastecimento) ligando a região de São Paulo - Vale do Paraíba - Minas Gerais - Rio de Janeiro (via Parati) e o extermínio e escravidão de várias nações indígenas. Existem lacunas sobre o cotidiano dos colonos, religiosos e indígenas destas vilas. Os processos históricos e seus agentes serão estudados através de inventários, testamentos,cartas de alforrias, documentos diversos do Convento de Santa Clara referente ao período seiscentistas da vila de Taubaté, também serão pesquisados Atas da Câmara de Taubaté, Mapas e fontes secundárias que enriqueçam a pesquisa em questão.

In this context, many towns and villages (stock places) appeared, connecting the region of São Paulo Vale do Paraíba Minas Gerais Rio de Janeiro (via Parati) and the extermination and slavery of many indian tribes. There are many gaps about the daily life of the settlers, religious people, and indians of these places. Most of the historic process and their principal agents will be studied by inventories, wills, letters of manumission ,several documents from the Santa Clara Monastery concerning the six hundredth period in the village of Taubaté , will also be discussed, as well as the Minutes of the Board of Taubaté, maps and secondary sources that enrich the research in question.

Abstract:
Ce travail de thèse a pour but d’étudier le degré d’implication des Écossais dans le système esclavagiste britannique graduellement mis en place dans les colonies du Nouveau Monde à partir du XVIIe siècle. Dans la lignée de publications récentes témoignant d’un intérêt grandissant pour la question, il vise à mettre au jour un pan problématique de l’histoire écossaise, qui trouve un écho particulier dans les discussions actuelles sur l’identité nationale écossaise. Cette thèse s’attarde ainsi sur le rôle particulier joué par les Écossais dans le développement économique de la traite négrière et au sein des sociétés esclavagistes des Antilles britanniques. Ce travail de recherche s’intéresse également à l’émergence des idées abolitionnistes en Grande-Bretagne au début du XIXe siècle et à la place des Écossais dans ce grand débat sociétal. L’enjeu de cette thèse est de déterminer s’il existait une spécificité de comportement, d’idéologie, dans le rôle joué par les Écossais au sein du système esclavagiste et dans les campagnes abolitionnistes dans le contexte impérial post-Union. Cette démarche ne s’inscrit pas dans la volonté clivante de singulariser les Écossais, mais de remettre en question l’homogénéité des notions d’« esclavagisme britannique » et d’ « abolitionnisme britannique ». Selon une approche chronologique, ce travail de recherche s’organise en trois mouvements. La première partie s’articule autour de la genèse d’une idéologie impériale écossaise, s’appuyant sur une conception économique esclavagiste. La seconde partie s’attarde sur la réalité du système esclavagiste dans les colonies et la place des colons écossais tandis que la dernière partie revient sur l’apport philosophique, idéologique et politique des Écossais dans les campagnes abolitionnistes britanniques et sur leur inclusion dans un projet à l’identité britannique très affirmée
This dissertation explores the scope of the Scottish involvement in the British slave system that was implemented in the colonies of the New World from the 17th century onwards. In the wake of recent research revealing a growing interest for this specific issue, it aims at examining a problematic aspect of Scotland’s history, shedding some new light on the current debate about national identity in Scotland. This thesis dwells on the particular role played by the Scots in the economic development of the African slave trade and their participation in slave societies in the West Indies. This research also takes interest in the emergence of abolitionist ideas in Great Britain at the beginning of the 19th century and the part Scottish people played in the national debate. The main purpose is to determine whether there existed a Scottish specificity, regarding behaviours and ideology, in the British slave system and in the British abolitionist movement within the post-Union imperial context. The intent is not to single Scottish people out but rather to question the relevance of concepts such as « British slavery » and « British abolitionism ».Adopting a chronological approach, this thesis consists of three parts. First, it revolves around the development of the Scottish imperial ideology and of a colonial economic conception based on slavery. The second part dwells on the harsh reality of the slave system in the colonies and the role Scottish colonists played in it. Finally, the thesis tackles the philosophical, ideological and political contribution of Scottish people to the British abolitionist campaigns and examines their inclusion within this British scheme

Abstract:
L'Archipel des Comores composé de quatre îles : Grande-Comore, Anjouan, Mohéli et Mayotte dont le premier peuplement remonte au premier millénaire avant Jésus Christ, a connu l'esclavage avant la traite et la colonisation française qui commence. Les fonctions principales de l'esclavage dans ce petit pays au bout du monde sont agricoles et domestiques. Mais contrairement aux autres pays, c'est la rareté des documents écrits et le silence absolu des habitants qui prédominent face à ce phénomène. L'esclavage va connaître une croissance fulgurante avec le phénomène de la traite et l'histoire coloniale. De nombreux Mozambicains sont déversés dans les îles : les uns pour répondre aux besoins des bras dans l'économie agricole coloniale basée sur la culture des produits de rente ; les autres pour partir par la suite dans d'autres pays, et plus particulièrement l'île de La Réunion. Les Africains d'origine mozambicaine sont connus aux Comores sous le nom de Makua. Après un survol rapide de d'histoire générale de l'esclavage aux Comores, la thèse se penche spécifiquement sur la traite de Makua pendant une période précise d'un siècle : 1870 à 1970. L'analyse aborde successivement les aspects liés à la route, les perceptions, l'occupation des espaces, l'intégration et l'apport de Makua. L'abolition officielle de l'esclavagisme était diversement appréciée à l'image actuelle du pays dont les séquelles de cette histoire douloureuse sont toujours visibles jusqu'à enfanter ce que l'on appelle communément l'esclavage moderne
The Comoro Archepelago is composed of four Islands: Great Comoro, Anjouan, Moheli and Mayotte, whose first population, goes back to the first century BC, has known slavery before the slave trade and the beginning of French Colonization. The main functions of slavery in this little country at the end of world are mainly agricultural and domestic work. But contrary to the others countries, written documents are scarce and an absolute silence of the inhabitants prevail in front of this phenomenon. Slavery was going to have a steady growth with this phenomenon of the slave trade and colonial history. A lot of Mozambicans are brought to the islands: some to respond to the need of labor in the agricultural colonial economy based on the culture of commercial products; others to be sent to other countries, and more particularly to la Reunion Island. The Africans originated from Mozambique are known in the Comoros under the name of wamakua (from makua). After a quick glance of the general history of slavery in the Comoros, the thesis focuses specially on the makua slave trade in a specific period of a century: from 1870 to 1970. The analysis deals successively on the different aspects linked to the route, the perceptions, the occupation of space, integration and the makua contribution. The official abolition of slavery was differently appreciated with regard to the present image of the country the remains of which of this painful history are always visible until the birth of what is commonly known as Modern slavery

Abstract:
Première ethnographie consacrée à un système d’esclavage amérindien, cette thèse est une contribution à l’anthropologie politique amazoniste et à l’anthropologie de l’esclavage. Elle se fonde sur un travail de terrain mené entre 2004 et 2011 chez les Yuqui de l’Amazonie bolivienne, des nomades de langue tupi-guarani, dernier groupe contacté dans la région dans la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle par des missionnaires évangélistes. Le service éternel est l’archéologie d’une institution, a priori révolue, par l’analyse des représentations et des pratiques de celle-ci dans la mémoire collective et la vie quotidienne. Cette étude s’appuie sur un travail d’observation participante mené au gré des pérégrinations yuqui dans différents espaces (forestier, missionnaire et urbain), un riche corpus d’archives et des documents récoltés sur le terrain. L’objectif central vise à démontrer que l’esclavage yuqui est un système de reproduction endogène de l’altérité nécessaire à la construction du Soi à la suite d’un long processus d’isolement. Composée de quatre parties qui nous emmènent des premiers temps de la conquête au second mandat du président Evo Morales, cette thèse éclaire sous un jour nouveau les relations de subordination amérindiennes, en décrivant un système de domination au sein duquel un chef autoritaire tire son prestige des esclaves. Pour comprendre cette institution servile, une attention particulière est d’abord portée aux processus de procréation et d’appropriation des individus, fondée sur la relation asymétrique de nourrissement
First ethnography dedicated to a Amerindian slavery system, this doctoral thesis is a contribution to the Amazonist political anthropology and to the anthropology of slavery. It is based on a fieldwork conducted between 2004 and 2011 among the Yuqui people of Bolivian Amazon, who are Tupi-Guarani speaking nomads. They are the last group contacted in the region in the second half of the twentieth century by Evangelist missionaries. « The Eternal Service » is an archeology of an a priori passed institution through the analysis of its representations and practices in the collective memory and everyday life. This study is based on participant observation work carried out during the Yuqui’s peregrination in three different spaces (forest, mission and the city), and on a rich body of archives and documents collected in the field. The central objective is to demonstrate that Yuqui slavery is an endogenous reproductive system of alterity, that became necessary for the construction of the Self as a result of a long process of isolation. Composed of four parts which take the reader from the early stages of the Conquest to the second mandate of the President Evo Morales, this thesis sheds a new light on Amerindian subordination relations, describing a system of domination in which an authoritarian leader’s prestige derives from slaves possession. To understand this servile institution, attention is first paid to the reproductive process and the appropriation of individuals, which is based on an asymmetrical feeding relationship
