新刊『人道的統治とイギリスの反奴隷制世界システム』
How the suppression of the slave trade and the "disposal" of liberated Africans shaped the emergence of modern humanitarianism? This book demonstrates the impact of interventionist experiments on the lives of the liberated people, on the evolution of a British antislavery "world system," and on the emergence of modern understandings of refuge, asylum, and humanitarian governance. Between 1808 and 1867, the British navy's Atlantic squadrons seized nearly two thousand slave ships, "re-capturing" almost two hundred thousand enslaved people and resettling them as liberated Africans across sites from Sierra Leone and Cape Colony to the West Indies, Brazil, Cuba, and beyond. In this wide-ranging study, author explores the set of imperial experiments that took shape as British authorities sought to order the instrumentalize the liberated Africans, and examines the dual discourses of compassion and control that evolved around a people expected to repay the debt of their salvation. （引用元）
