- This longer-form output (c. 124,000 words) traces the development of ideologies of slavery and their application in the French Caribbean c.1620-1750. Its early chronological focus, long temporal span and French Atlantic purview are unprecedented in existing scholarship, engaging with widely differing critical perspectives, from anthropological analyses of African slavery to synchronic global history. The range of data collected in 6 languages includes: 100+ primary manuscripts from 8 archives in France/Italy (e.g. ANOM/ARSI/AFSI) and 100+ pre-1800 printed sources, including legal codes, Caribbean planters’ handbooks, slavers’ testimony, missionary accounts, administrative correspondence, with 300+ secondary sources.
