2020 Stephanie M.H. Camp Lecture: Recaptive African Women and the Body Politics of Survival in the Era of the ‘Last Slave Ships’
May 27, 3:30 PM | Zoom streaming
In the final decade of the transatlantic slave trade, recaptive Africans seized by U.S. patrols from illegal slave ships found themselves embarked on new and deadly journeys of forced migration to Liberia. To survive the catastrophe of their displacement, recaptive women asserted communal life in the midst of anonymous death through rival use of ship’s spaces and reclamation of their social bodies. This talk, given by Occidental College’s Sharla M. Fett and sponsored by the Department of History merges the history of the body with more recent work on black intellectual history in the Atlantic World.
