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: Magdalena Candioti, Robson Pedroso Costa, Rômulo da Silva Ehalt, James Fujitani, Michel Kabalan, Silvia Lara, Marta Macedo, Hebe Mattos, Michelle McKinley, Sophia Blea Nuñez, Fernanda Pinheiro, João José Reis, Patricia Faria de Souza, Lisa Surwillo, Miguel Valerio and Lisa Voigt. Slave Subjectivities in the Iberian Worlds is now available in paperback for individual customers.

This Handbook provides an essential overview of the contemporary dynamics of the Mediterranean region. Conceptualising the Mediterranean as both a socio-cultural area and a geopolitical entity, it considers the basin both as a whole and as a set of interacting subregions. Established scholars offer new perspectives and approaches from international history, postcolonial studies, migration studies, geography, private international law and public international law, environmental and tourism studies, to reappraise the long-term trends and ruptures that shape security, interdependence, and cooperation. These contributions explain the Mediterranean’s long-established role as a crossroads, and demonstrate the political, economic, ecological, and cultural meanings of security. The book shows how interdependence in economic, environmental, cultural, and human sectors continues to bind the Mediterranean together as migration flows across the sea, environmental change requires common action, legal systems coexist, and multifaceted identities, growing cultural awareness and human rights remain on the political agenda. This volume will be an invaluable resource for graduate students, researchers, and professionals seeking a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to the historical, political, geographic, and socio-cultural complexities, challenges, and potential of the area.

La colonialité fut et est un phénomène mondial, lié à l’expansion du système-monde capitaliste moderne depuis le xve siècle. Elle n’est pas uniforme puisque liée aux historicités de chaque territoire, imposant néanmoins des rapports sociaux de type colonial indépendamment du statut du territoire concerné. La colonialité est un concept fondamental dans les approches postcoloniales et décoloniales et de sa définition découlent celles d’autres concepts liés : post-colonial et postcolonial, décolonial, décolonialité, subalternité, universalisme, pluriversalisme, « sud global »... Les colonialités du savoir, de la nature, de l’être, sont désormais plus étudiées et dénoncées que la colonialité du pouvoir dont découle pourtant tous les autres aspects de la colonialité. Ce tournant épistémique donne au décolonial une forte orientation idéaliste : c’est de la « déprise » mentale avec l’« Occident » et la « Modernité » que viendrait l’émancipation des subalternes. Or, jamais les mouvements sociaux réels ne séparent ainsi l’ontologie de la vie socio-économique. Ce décolonial, de fait idéaliste, réifie l’« Occident » et la « Modernité » en un orientalisme à rebours, survalorise considérablement l’expérience hispano-américaine sans accorder d’importance à l’expansion portugaise vers l’Asie, tout aussi productrice de système-monde et plus rentable, au départ, que l’Amérique. Ce latino centrisme s’écarte, chez nombre d’auteurs, de la critique du capitalisme globalisé et pointe l’« Occident », sans jamais le définir précisément, comme l’ennemi. Il dessine un « campisme anti-occidental » qui met souvent ces auteurs en fâcheux voisinage, comme l’ont montré des prises de positions bienveillantes, envers la Russie dans sa guerre de conquête de l’Ukraine. Contre le décolonial idéaliste, Michel Cahen prône un décolonial matérialiste et ne « jette pas le bébé avec l’eau du bain ».

This volume contributes to the growing field of Early Modern Jewish Atlantic History, while stimulating new discussions at the interface between Jewish Studies and Postcolonial Studies.

This companion analyzes, frames, and provokes race in insightful ways that center non‐white communities’ artistic and visual expression in the early modern period, rather than presenting the bias of European artistic and visual depictions of the colonization, enslavement, and subordination of People of Color. The organization of the book moves chronologically, taking a conceptual and thematic framework. This collection provides a spectrum of object‐ased case studies of artistic production—bjects and object‐ypes—rom six continents between the 1400s and 1800s. Contributions take an art historical approach characterized by a close analysis of form, function, and meaning, with a particular focus on questions of cross‐ultural dialog and provenance. Additionally, there is an emphasis on material culture. The book will interest scholars working in African diaspora studies, art history, visual culture, material culture, Indigenous studies, Renaissance studies, musicology, early modern studies, decolonial studies, and race and racism studies.

Slave Portraiture in the Atlantic World is the first book to focus on the individualized portrayal of enslaved people from the time of Europe's full engagement with plantation slavery in the late sixteenth century to its final official abolition in Brazil in 1888. While this period saw the emergence of portraiture as a major field of representation in Western art, 'slave' and 'portraiture' as categories appear to be mutually exclusive. On the one hand, the logic of chattel slavery sought to render the slave's body as an instrument for production, as the site of a non-subject. Portraiture, on the contrary, privileged the face as the primary visual matrix for the representation of a distinct individuality. Essays address this apparent paradox of 'slave portraits' from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives, probing the historical conditions that made the creation of such rare and enigmatic objects possible and exploring their implications for a more complex understanding of power relations under slavery.

How did the colonization of Goa in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries take place? How was it related to projects for the conversion of Goan colonial subjects to Catholicism? In Religion and Empire in Portuguese India, Ângela Barreto Xavier examines these questions through a reading of the relevant secular and missionary archives and texts. She shows how the twin drives of conversion and colonization in Portuguese India resulted in a variety of outcomes, ranging from negotiation to passive resistance to moments of extreme violence. Focusing on the rural hinterlands rather than the city of Goa itself, Barreto Xavier shows how Goan actors were able to seize hold of complex cultural resources in order to further their own projects and narrate their own myths and histories. In the process, she argues, Portuguese Goa emerged as a space with a specific identity that was a result of these contestations and interactions. The book de-essentializes the categories of colonizer and colonized, making visible instead their inner-group diversity of interests, their different modes of identification, and the specificity of local dynamics in their interactions and exchanges—in other words, the several threads that wove the fabric of colonial life.

This book examines the relationship between medieval European mythologies of the non-Western world and the initial Portuguese and Spanish voyages of expansion and exploration to Africa, Asia and the Americas. From encounters with the Mongols and successor states, to the European contacts with Ethiopia, India and the Americas, as well as the concomitant Jewish notion of the Ten Lost Tribes, the volume views the Western search for distant, crusading allies through the lens of stories such as the apostolate of Saint Thomas and the stories surrounding the supposed priest-king Prester John. In doing so, Knobler weaves a broad history of early modern Iberian imperial expansion within the context of a history of cosmologies and mythologies.
