If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr AM Price .

This talk explores the fugitive practices in nineteenth century São Tomé, a small plantation island in the Gulf of Guinea and a former Portuguese colony, as part of structural relations between plantations and laborers, with specific environmental dimension. Accounting for the diversity of landscapes crafted by runaway women and men, the presentation focuses on two different ecologies: the human and non-human assemblages forged by highly mobile small groups of fugitives, struggling to remain materially unnoticeable; and the material practices of the stable community of Angolares. These histories, foreground the irrepressible agency of the colonized, their acts of refusal and dissidence, thus, expanding the global archive of black insurgency.

This talk is part of the History and Economics Seminar series.
