Abstract

This paper measures and analyzes death rates that prevailed in the Atlantic slave trade during the late 1700s. Crew members died primarily from fevers (probably malaria) and slaves died primarily from gastrointestinal diseases. Annual death rates in this activity were 230 per thousand among the crew and 83 per thousand among slaves. The lack of immunitiesto the African disease environment contributed to the high death rates among the crew. The spread of dysentery among slaves during the voyage was probably exacerbated by congestion and poor nutrition. Death rates differed systematically by region of origin in Africa and season of the year. There was little interaction between the incidence of slave and crew deaths. The high death rates make the slave trade a demographic laboratory for study of health and mortality and an economic laboratory for study of markets for free labor.

Abstract

A lo largo de la Guerra de los Diez Años (1868-1878) en Cuba, no solo emergieron proyectos y prescripciones abolicionistas desde ambos lados del conflicto colonial, también se legisló sobre la condición del esclavo como la de un bien a embargar. El libro de la historiadora María Elena Meneses Muro constituye el primer estudio sistemático de la administración de los esclavos retenidos por la capitanía general de la isla como parte de la política de expropiaciones a los individuos acusados de infidencia. ¿Cómo se asumió la posesión de los esclavos por las estructuras administrativas durante el conflicto bélico?, ¿cuáles fueron las lógicas procedimentales en la distribución y modos de empleos?, ¿qué intereses se movieron en los entresijos de la gestión de esclavos?, son algunas de las interrogantes desbrozadas por la autora. El procesamiento riguroso de fuentes documentales, en particular extraídas del fondo Bienes Embargados del Archivo Nacional de Cuba, posibilita develar aristas de estudio y definir problemáticas relativas a tópicos medulares del proceso como el status jurídico del esclavo expropiado y su condición real, el movimiento geográfico y los espacios laborales asignados, la sofisticación de controles administrativos, e incluso, a modo de exhortación sugerente, se identifican posibles márgenes de acción o estrategias de esclavos expropiados y familiares para interpretar y usar a su favor los recursos legales. -- Summary from book.

Abstract

"The Iberian world played a key role in the global trade of enslaved people from the 15th century onwards. Scholars of Iberian forms of slavery face challenges accessing the subjectivity of the enslaved, given the scarcity of autobiographical sources. This book offers a compelling example of innovative methodologies that draw on alternative archives and documents, such as inquisitorial and trial records, to examine enslaved individuals' and collective subjectivities under Iberian political dominion. It explores themes such as race, gender, labour, social mobility and emancipation, religion, and politics, shedding light on the lived experiences of those enslaved in the Iberian world from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic. Contributors are: Sophia Blea Nun~ez, Magdalena Candioti, Patricia Faria e Souza, James Fujitani, Joa~o Jose´ dos Reis, Michel Kabalan, Silvia Lara, Marta Macedo, Hebe Mattos, Michelle McKinley, Robson Pedroso Costa, Fernanda Pinheiro, Ro^mulo da Silva Ehalt, Lisa Surwillo, Miguel Valerio and Lisa Voigt"--
