Abstract: The kingdom of Allada in the seventeenth century was an important supplier of slaves for the trans-Atlantic trade, and also an object of Christian missionary activity, but the earlier history of its interactions with Europeans is poorly documented. It has previously been assumed that the first direct Portuguese contact with the Allada area occurred in 1553. However, recently discovered documents in Portuguese archives correct this view. These comprise two petitions to the King of Portugal from an ambassador of the King of Allada currently in Lisbon: although undated, the content of one of them enables it to be dated to either 1544 or 1555, more probably the former; given the time which the ambassador had already spent in Portugal, his original dispatch from Allada occurred in 1540/1541 or 1551/1552. The petitions document the Allada king’s interest in the establishment of a Christian church in his realm, as well as commercial relations.

Abstract: This essay considers Frederick Cooper’s early scholarship on African slavery, which called for and modeled a practice of comparative historiography. His critique of the “absorption model” of African slavery, enabled by comparison with the Americas, anticipated important recent trends in the study of Atlantic slavery. Revisiting this critique helps us to understand key features of cultural continuity and change among enslaved people and can inform future research about gender and the Atlantic slave trade. In particular, it suggests the limitations of an analysis that separates the assumed African assimilation of enslaved women from the export mostly of men.

摘要:本文考察了弗雷德里克·库珀关于非洲奴隶制的早期学术研究,该研究呼吁并模拟了比较史学的实践。他对非洲奴隶制的“吸收模式”的批判,通过与美洲的比较得以实现,预测了大西洋奴隶制研究的重要趋势。重新审视这一批判有助于我们理解被奴役者的文化连续性和变化的关键特征,并可以为未来关于性别和大西洋奴隶贸易的研究提供信息。它特别指出了一项分析的局限性,即把假定的非洲对被奴役妇女的同化与主要是对男子的输出分开。(3)与frederik Cooper在非洲的运输和运输系统的运输和运输系统的运输和运输系统的运输和运输系统的运输。对非洲的“调整和吸收”的批评,由于可能与其他非洲的薪金薪金作比较,预期了其他非洲的薪金薪金与其他非洲的薪金薪金的重要趋势。《经济学人》(Revenir sur cette critique nous aide)理解《经济学人》(caracry)、《经济学人》(acacry)、《社会学人》(acacry)、《社会学人》(acacry)、《文化学人》(acacry)、《个人学人》(acacry)、《商业学人》(acacry)、《世界学人》(le monde atlantic)。特别值得一提的是,这一批评表明,在分析诸如“同化”、“女性”、“出口”、“家庭”等问题时,不能有太多的限制。

Abstract: Researchers and scholars have written on the history of mining in Zambia using a variety of sources and archives. But much of the history written from local archives has relied heavily on the National Archives of Zambia. Yet, important archival holdings for researchers of the history of Zambia’s mining industry also exist in the Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines Archive, the United National Independence Party Archive, and in the Mineworkers’ Union of Zambia Headquarters. These repositories house rich collections of data invaluable for understanding Zambia’s mining industry. Covering the period from the 1890s to the present, these archives make possible new questions and interpretations of Zambia’s mining industry.

Abstract: Using the Tensions of Empire volume as a pivot point, this article traces Frederick Cooper’s work in relation to trajectories of historical materialism and cultural history over the past forty years. Highlighting Cooper’s contributions to both approaches, it points to a generative tension between these strands of his scholarship – as well as between his oeuvre and the arc of broader historiography on empire. Specific features of Cooper’s approach were key to the success of the Tensions of Empire collaboration, and attention to them can help recapture aspects of these historiographies that have become obscured over time. Résumé: En utilisant le livre Tensions of Empire comme point de référence, cet article retrace l’œuvre de Frederick Cooper en relation avec les trajectoires du matérialisme historique et de l’histoire culturelle au cours de ces quarante dernières années.

En se focalisant sur le matérialisme historique et l’histoire culturelle, cet article entend apporter un éclairage nouveau à des aspects historiographiques qui se sont effacés au fil du temps.
摘要:本文以《帝国的张力》卷为切入点,追溯了近四十年来弗雷德里克·库珀的作品与历史唯物主义和文化史轨迹的关系。它突出了库珀对这两种方法的贡献,指出了他的学术研究的这些分支之间的生成张力,以及他的作品与更广泛的帝国史学弧线之间的张力。库珀方法的具体特点是“帝国的紧张关系”合作取得成功的关键,对这些特点的关注有助于重新捕捉这些史学中随着时间的推移而变得模糊的方面。在《帝国的紧张局势》一文中,我们回顾了弗雷德里克·库珀在《帝国的紧张局势》和《帝国的紧张局势》两方面的关系,即《帝国的紧张局势》和《帝国的紧张局势》。在对库伯的贡献中,这篇文章满足了两个维度的要求,即在出版方面,这篇文章满足了一个维度的要求,即在出版方面,这篇文章满足了一个维度的要求:在出版方面,这篇文章满足了一个维度的要求:在出版方面,这篇文章满足了一个维度的要求:在出版方面,这篇文章满足了一个维度的要求:在出版方面,这篇文章满足了一个维度的要求:在出版方面,这篇文章满足了一个维度的要求:在出版方面,这篇文章满足了一个维度的要求:在出版方面,这是一个维度的要求;lescaracacimristiques spacimcifiques de l 'approche de Cooper,而lescaracacimcifiques pour le succes de l ' ouvage collective Tensions of Empire。在本文中,我们将从历史学的角度出发,从历史学的角度出发,阐述了我国文史学界对我国文史学界的看法,以及我国文史学界对我国文史学界的看法。

Abstract: This essay explores Frederick Cooper’s work on the history of capitalism, bringing together his histories of class struggles on the East African coast and his conceptual interventions into debates on Africa and the world economy. It argues that Cooper’s notion of the “peculiarities of capitalism” illuminates how conflicts over work, rights, and the labor process have shaped where capital went and what it did in Africa. The essay also considers how Cooper’s work might inform the emerging literature on race and capitalism in Africa, exploring in particular the history of tobacco capitalism in postcolonial Malawi. Résumé: Cet article analyse les travaux de Frederick Cooper sur l’histoire du capitalisme, en rassemblant ses récits de luttes de classes sur la côte est-africaine et ses interventions conceptuelles dans des débats sur l’Afrique et l’économie mondiale. Cet article veut montrer que la notion de Cooper de “particularités du capitalisme” met en lumière la manière dont les conflits, droits et règles du travail ont façonné les trajectoires et effets du capital en Afrique. Cet article examine également la manière dont les travaux de Cooper pourraient éclairer la littérature émergente sur la race et le capitalisme en Afrique, en explorant en particulier l’histoire du capitalisme du tabac dans le Malawi postcolonial.

Abstract: Frederick Cooper’s first three books, published between 1977 and 1987, were written during African historians’ first sustained critical engagement with African archives and African voices. Cooper’s books were literally in the weeds with slave and free labor in East Africa, yet their importance went beyond the region. Read in sequence, we see how Cooper’s work was shifting toward studies of the metropole by the mid-1980s. Taken together we see how practices in the workplace shaped policies in Whitehall, that conditions on plantations and on docks caused a rethinking of how colonialists might most successfully exert control. Résumé: Les trois premiers livres de Frederick Cooper, publiés entre 1977 et 1987, ont été écrits lors du premier engagement critique soutenu des historiens de l’Afrique sur les archives et les voix africaines. Les livres de Cooper étaient submergés par les détails sur l’esclavage et le travail libre en Afrique de l’Est, mais leur importance dépassait les limites de la région. En les lisant successivement, nous voyons l’évolution des travaux de Cooper en direction des études de la métropole au milieu des années 1980. Pris ensemble, nous voyons comment les pratiques sur le lieu de travail ont façonné les politiques de Whitehall: ainsi, les conditions dans les plantations et dans les ports ont amené les colonisateurs à repenser la manière dont ils pourraient exercer leur domination avec plus de succès.
