In 1758, Peter Williamson appeared in the streets of Aberdeen, Scotland, dressed as a Native American Indian and telling a remarkable tale. He claimed that as a young boy he had been kidnapped from the city and sold into slavery in America. In performances and in a printed narrative he peddled to his audiences, Williamson described his tribulations as an indentured servant, Indian captive, soldier, and prisoner of war. In his performances and publications, Williamson offered British audiences a distinctly plebian perspective on the British Empire in North America. His unique career capitalized on the curiosity that the Seven Years' War ignited among the British public for news and information about America and its Native inhabitants, but his reputation for fabrication also made his contemporaries and historians reluctant to believe him. Indian Captive, Indian King is the first biography of Williamson to separate the fact from fiction in his tale and explain what it tells us about how the working people of eighteenth-century Britain, so often depicted as victims of empire, found their own ways to create lives and exploit opportunities within it.--

Los estudios que han visibilizado la esclavitud y el cautiverio en las sociedades europeas medievales y modernas, así como en sus continuidades atlánticas, son abundantes. Remiten, cada vez más, a las transformaciones identitarias a las que las personas esclavizadas se vieron abocadas, a la consistencia y riqueza de su bagaje cultural, a su marginalidad, o a su aceptación o resistencia a la cultura dominante. Los préstamos de las ciencias sociales pueden ayudar a renovar las aproximaciones al fenómeno, pero también pueden ser problemáticos. Los trabajos aquí reunidos intentan dar respuesta a este reto, contribuyen al enriquecimiento de las herramientas metodológicas e interpretativas de las fuentes, y potencian —desde la interdisciplinariedad— el debate, la reflexión y el aprovechamiento de la renovación epistemológica que experimentan la antropología y la sociología históricas. Son aportaciones novedosas que, tanto desde la introducción del análisis de nuevas fuentes como desde la relectura de las que tradicionalmente han sido más explotadas, constituyen un avance hacia nuevos estudios de historia social de la esclavitud centrados en el esclavo y en sus redes de relaciones sociales. Grâce à un regard décalé et enrichi, associant histoire et anthropologie/sociologie, cet ouvrage aborde les formes d’intégration sociale et les multiples hybridations culturelles produites par l’esclavage au sein des sociétés d’Europe, d’Afrique et d’Amérique au cours des périodes médiévales et modernes. Analysant les contours normatifs permettant de définir l’identité de l’esclave, il évoque ensuite ses tentatives et modalités d’intégration dans les sociétés d’accueil, en mesurant le processus de socialisation qui a pu en découler. Interroger les mécanismes sociaux des sociétés anciennes qui ont présidé aux brassages de population dont attestent les sources est l’un des chantiers qui occupe le plus les historiens de ce champ (sociétés atlantiques, Maghreb). Parmi leurs principales, il…
