SUMMARY:Erin Rowe\, Professor of History\, Johns Hopkins University "The Black Saints of the Carmelite Order: Ancient Ethiopia in the Early Modern European Imagination”
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in the seventeenth-century\, members of the Carmelite order adopted two ancient Ethiopian saints\, Efigenia and Elesban. While their interest in ancient saints was tied to the order’s longstanding efforts to prove the antiquity of their order dating back to the Prophet Elijah\, the inclusion of Ancient Ethiopia in these efforts tell a more complex story about how early modern Spaniards thought with and about Ancient Ethiopia. The inclusion of Ethiopia in early modern ideas about the Biblical Near East clashed with the treatment of enslaved people from West and Central Africa being brought to the peninsula in vast numbers\, while devotion to Ethiopian saints by White and Black Spaniards transformed the spiritual and historical landscape. \n*Co-sponsored by Department of History\, CMRS-CEGS\, The Atlantic History Colloquium\, Peter H. Reill Chair in European Studies\, and The Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies.

SUMMARY:Madina Thiam\, Assistant Professor of History\, NYU "Absolutely and Utterly Free: An Atlantic-Saharan Journey through Slavery and Race-Making\, 1834-1836"
DESCRIPTION:This talk follows Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Watara\, a Timbuktu-born teenager who was enslaved in Jamaica from 1805 to 1834. Upon securing his manumission\, Watara undertook a trans-Atlantic and trans-Saharan journey\, in a bid to return home. A close examination of Watara’s words and writings about him\, and a reconstruction of his trajectory\, provides insight into the social and political forces that ushered in deep changes in the worlds of the British Atlantic and Muslim Sahel and Sahara\, in the first half of the nineteenth century. As Watara sought to secure freedom while journeying across the Atlantic and Sahara\, which strategies did he leverage? How did larger political changes in 1820s-1830s Sahel\, Sahara\, and Atlantic render his aspirations to freedom possible\, and how did they restrict them? Scholars have previously written about Watara’s journey and writings by situating his autobiography within the broader genre of transatlantic slave narratives\, and analyzing his trajectory as evidence of the retention of African cultural expressions among enslaved Black Muslims in the Americas. \nThis talk offers a new interpretation of Watara’s articulation and praxis of freedom\, framing them in the broader contexts of the end of chattel slavery in the British Atlantic\, booming trans-Saharan slave trade\, and changing notions of race and enslaveability in the West African Sahel in the era of Islamic revolutions and state-building. \nZoom RSVP \n
