DESCRIPTION:Part of the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies r
 esearch seminar series. Co-organised with the Race\, Roots & Resistance 
 Collective (R3).\n\nRoom: Samuel Alexander A214. This event can be follo
 wed online: https://zoom.us/j/95860231166\n\nAbstract: This talk emerges
  from work for my current book project\, Slavery & Freedom in Black Thou
 ght in the Early Spanish Atlantic. The project traces how enslaved and f
 ree Black Africans reckoned with the brutal violence of the Atlantic wor
 ld that they were forced to inhabit\, and the different ways that they e
 ngaged with and shaped the intellectual life of colonial societies. This
  book explores how free and enslaved Black Africans conceptualized two s
 trands of political thought – freedom and slavery – in the early Spanish
  Atlantic\, and maps how they sought to place limits on the legal and th
 eological justifications for their enslavement\, while broadening the me
 anings and privileges of freedom. Centering Black thought\, the project 
 traces Black people's lives and ideas through fragmentary pieces of arch
 ival evidence in and across diverse places and institutions of colonial 
 governance in the Spanish empire.\n
