SUMMARY:Maroon ecologies and the São Tomé plantation world: histories of
  black insurgency - Marta Macedo (Institute of Contemporary History\, NOVA
  University of Lisbon)

CONTACT:Dr AM Price
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the fugitive practices in nineteenth centur
 y São Tomé\, a small plantation island in the Gulf of Guinea and a forme
 r Portuguese colony\, as part of structural relations between plantations 
 and laborers\, with specific environmental dimension. Accounting for the d
 iversity of landscapes crafted by runaway women and men\, the presentation
  focuses on two different ecologies: the human and non-human assemblages f
 orged by highly mobile small groups of fugitives\, struggling to remain ma
 terially unnoticeable\; and the material practices of the stable community
  of Angolares. These histories\, foreground the irrepressible agency of th
 e colonized\, their acts of refusal and dissidence\, thus\, expanding the 
 global archive of black insurgency.
