From around the 1760s, we enter into the Age of the Atlantic Revolutions with the corresponding growing opposition in many quarters to slavery and the slave trade. The pivotal date is 1807 when Britain abolished the slave trade. But on the local scene, little changed initially. Dahomey continued to be immersed in crisis and its rulers proved utterly unable to conquer any new territory – although the Dahomeans did manage at times to send raiding parties into the Eastern Slave Coast. On the other hand, the Huedan exiles were finally wiped out, and the once mighty Oyo empire, Dahomey’s overlord, began slowly to fall apart, as did also Glidji, another of Dahomey’s foes. In the middle of it all, in 1797, the Dahomean king Agonglo expressed his intention to convert to Christianity. This led to a coup in which Agonglo lost his life, and then to a counter-coup, both extremely bloody. On the Western Slave Coast the Danes, up until 1793, tried but failed to carve out a colony for themselves.
从18世纪60年代左右开始,我们进入了大西洋革命时代,在许多方面,对奴隶制和奴隶贸易的反对也相应地越来越强烈。1807年是英国废除奴隶贸易的关键日子。但在当地,最初几乎没有什么变化。达荷美继续陷入危机,其统治者完全无法征服任何新的领土——尽管达荷美人有时确实设法派遣突击队进入东部奴隶海岸。另一方面,Huedan流亡者最终被消灭,曾经强大的Oyo帝国,达荷美的霸主,开始慢慢崩溃,达荷美的另一个敌人Glidji也开始崩溃。在这一切的中间,1797年,达荷曼国王阿贡洛表达了他皈依基督教的意图。这导致了一场政变,阿贡洛在政变中丧生,然后又发生了一场反政变,两场政变都非常血腥。直到1793年,在西部奴隶海岸,丹麦人一直试图开拓自己的殖民地,但都以失败告终。

Epilogue 后记
Pub Date : 2018-08-01 DOI: 10.1093/oso/9780190876104.003.0020
F. Fuglestad
In the epilogue, the author laments the marginalization of African history even in this day of global history. He then puts forward the claim that the sorts of sacred/pagan societies we have encountered on the Slave Coast were in no way unique to that region and may have constituted a long-standing, widespread norm. The author reflects on the neglect Ouidah suffered from until the emergence of “ethnic tourism”, something which has not really been a success. Visitors from overseas prefer Senegal and especially Ghana, where there are many old European forts still standing, and on the sea-shore. This sharply contrasts with the Slave Coast, the epicentre of the slave trade in West Africa, where only one small fort is left standing, and inland at that.
在结语中,作者哀叹非洲历史在全球历史的今天仍然被边缘化。然后,他提出,我们在奴隶海岸遇到的各种神圣/异教社会绝不是该地区独有的,可能构成了一个长期存在的、广泛存在的规范。作者反思了乌伊达在“民族旅游”出现之前遭受的忽视,而这种旅游并没有真正取得成功。来自海外的游客更喜欢塞内加尔,尤其是加纳,那里有许多古老的欧洲堡垒仍然屹立在海边。这与奴隶海岸形成鲜明对比,奴隶海岸是西非奴隶贸易的中心,那里只剩下一个小堡垒,而且是在内陆。

Allada, its Vassals and Neighbours, and the Europeans 阿拉达,它的附庸和邻国,以及欧洲人

It is clear that Allada, reputedly founded by people from Tado, was for long the main polity on the Slave Coast. It is also clear that it was a polity of the traditional kind, typical of West Africa of old. As such, the society was a kindred-type society, its kings of the sacred kind, and the power of those kings possibly limited by “contrapuntal paramountcy”. The kings ruled most of their realm indirectly, since most local vassals were in fact (sacred) rulers in their own right who could not be removed, only persuaded/forced to pay allegiance. All those vassal polities had their own deities and their own ancestors which the over-king was required to respect. Among the vassals, we note especially the kingdom of Hueda with the future town of Ouidah-Glehue which was to play a central role in the slave trade. We also note the “temptation” Christianity represented to many rulers. It had the potential to do away with “contrapuntal paramountcy” and all of the other local institutions and beliefs/deities which severely limited the power of the over-king.
很明显,据说由塔多人建立的阿拉达长期以来一直是奴隶海岸的主要政体。很明显,这是一种传统的政体,典型的古西非政体。因此,这个社会是一个亲族型社会,它的国王是神圣的,这些国王的权力可能受到“对位至上”的限制。国王间接统治着他们的大部分领土,因为大多数地方诸侯实际上是他们自己的(神圣的)统治者,他们不能被移除,只能被说服/强迫效忠。所有这些诸侯国都有自己的神灵和祖先,国王必须尊重这些神灵和祖先。在诸侯国中,我们特别注意到怀达王国和后来的怀达-格列休镇,它在奴隶贸易中发挥了核心作用。我们也注意到基督教对许多统治者的“诱惑”。它有可能废除"对位至上"以及所有其他地方制度和信仰/神灵,这些都严重限制了至高无上的国王的权力。

Dahomey and its Neighbours 达荷美及其邻国
Pub Date : 2018-08-01 DOI: 10.1093/OSO/9780190876104.003.0011
F. Fuglestad
Dahomey emerged on the Abomey plateau in the north, possibly in the 1640s/50s. Those who established the new polity were probably a horde of outlaws who succeeded in lording it over the local population (most known as Guedevi). The author repeats that the newcomers did not try to establish any modus vivendi with the indigenes, as the traditional “rule” required, but instead eliminated them, appropriating for themselves the position of earth-priest (aïnon) and the ritual control of the land. They did of course go looking for respectable ancestors. Indeed, the ruling sib, that of the Agasuvi, claimed descent from the dynasty of Allada, and through Allada, ultimately from Tado. This was mere propaganda. The Agasuvi set about manipulating the kinship-type setup of the society, establishing a markedly militaristic polity. As conquerors they set aside another “rule of the game”, since they simply erased the overpowered entities from the map, incorporating them into Dahomey. The neighboring realm of the Wemenu was the first “victim”, constituting a decisive victory for Dahomey.
达荷美出现在北部的阿波美高原上,可能是在17世纪40年代或50年代。那些建立新政体的人可能是一群不法之徒,他们成功地统治了当地居民(最著名的是Guedevi)。作者重复说,新来者并没有像传统的“规则”所要求的那样,试图与土著建立任何权宜之计,而是消灭了他们,把大地祭司的地位(aïnon)和对土地的仪式控制占为己有。他们当然会去寻找可敬的祖先。事实上,执政的阿加苏维人声称自己是阿拉达王朝的后裔,通过阿拉达,最终来自塔多。这纯粹是宣传。阿加苏维人开始操纵社会的亲属关系,建立了一个明显的军国主义政体。作为征服者,他们放弃了另一个“游戏规则”,因为他们只是从地图上抹去了强大的实体,将它们合并到达荷美。邻国汶奴是第一个“受害者”,这是达荷美取得的决定性胜利。

Societal, Religious and Political Structures 社会、宗教和政治结构

F. Fuglestad
This chapter presents a model for the understanding of the “traditional” societies of the Slave Coast and, in fact, of most of West Africa. It explores concepts which are not prevalent in the anthropological literature, and much less so in historical literature: “owners of the land” in the ritual sense; earth-priests; water priests; “ritual control of the land”; “contrapuntal paramountcy” (very central for our purpose and explained later); “sacred kingship”; stranger-kings; ancestor worship; fertility cults, etc. These all have marked religious connotations, implying that these were so-called sacred kinship societies, and that everything had to be explained and legitimized in religious or supranatural terms.
本章为理解奴隶海岸的“传统”社会提供了一个模型,事实上,西非大部分地区也是如此。它探讨了一些在人类学文献中不常见的概念,在历史文献中更不常见:仪式意义上的“土地所有者”;earth-priests;水的祭司;“对土地的仪式控制”;“对位至上”(对我们的目的非常重要,稍后会解释);“神圣的王权”;stranger-kings;祖先崇拜;生育崇拜等等。这些都有明显的宗教内涵,暗示着这些是所谓神圣的亲属社会,一切都必须用宗教或超自然的术语来解释和合法化。

Some Concrete, Practical Implications 一些具体的、实际的影响
Pub Date : 2018-08-01 DOI: 10.1093/OSO/9780190876104.003.0005
F. Fuglestad
This chapter presents the religious beliefs, and more generally the world outlook, of the local inhabitants in a comparative African context. It explores these “sacred societies”, and the way in which rulers of Dahomey tried to get around the inbuilt constraints that impeded the establishment of a genuinely centralized polity ruled by an all powerful monarch/sacred king. Among those constraints was that of “contrapuntal paramountcy” which implies that the right of conquest did not apply; incoming conquerors had to reach a modus vivendi with the indigenous population, and had to rule with the consent and collaboration of that population, the “owners of the land”, who exercised ritual control over the land, a divinely sanctioned inalienable right. But the rulers of Dahomey, who refused to abide by the rules of the game, were not really successful in establishing an alternative source of legitimacy, and were, therefore, faced with a severe problem of legitimacy – one which never went away. It forced the rulers to resort to terror.
这一章在比较非洲的背景下介绍了当地居民的宗教信仰,以及更普遍的世界观。它探讨了这些“神圣社会”,以及达荷美统治者试图绕过内在限制的方式,这些限制阻碍了建立一个真正由全能的君主/神圣国王统治的中央集权政体。这些限制包括“对位至上”的限制,这意味着征服权不适用;即将到来的征服者必须与土著居民达成一种权宜之计,并且必须在“土地所有者”的同意和合作下进行统治,他们对土地行使仪式上的控制,这是一项神圣认可的不可剥夺的权利。但是,拒绝遵守游戏规则的达荷美统治者并没有真正成功地建立另一种合法性来源,因此,他们面临着一个严重的合法性问题——一个永远不会消失的问题。它迫使统治者诉诸恐怖手段。

The African Side the Early/Legendary Past 非洲方面的早期/传奇的过去

The village of Tado in the north looms large in some local traditions. It was possibly the first general polity of the region (a theory supported by archaeological findings). What we think we know is that its ruler was a typical sacred king and the society a kinship-type one. But at some stage a group of people known as the Aja or Agasuvi had to flee towards the south. They founded Notsé and Allada. From Allada some groups moved to establish Dahomey in the north and, somewhat later, Porto Novo/Hogbonu in the east. The author argues that all the Ewe of the Western Slave Coast originated from Notsé – a contention modern anthropologists and historians are skeptical of – and that if there was migration, it must have involved few people and short distances. The chapter observes that there is a rival tradition to that of Tado, which underlines the importance of the kingdom of Grand Popo on the coast in the south.
在一些当地传统中,北部的塔多村显得很重要。这可能是该地区的第一个普遍政体(考古发现支持的理论)。我们认为我们所知道的是,它的统治者是一个典型的神圣的国王,社会是一个亲族型的社会。但在某个阶段,一群被称为Aja或Agasuvi的人不得不逃往南方。他们创立了诺茨维尔和阿拉达。从阿拉达开始,一些团体在北部建立了达荷美,后来又在东部建立了波尔图诺沃/霍格博努。作者认为,西部奴隶海岸的所有母羊都起源于诺茨维尔——现代人类学家和历史学家对这一论点持怀疑态度——如果有迁徙,那一定是人少距离短。这一章观察到,有一个与塔多传统相竞争的传统,它强调了南部海岸的大波波王国的重要性。

A Few Comments on Certain Economic Matters 关于某些经济问题的几点意见
Pub Date : 2018-08-01 DOI: 10.1093/OSO/9780190876104.003.0006
F. Fuglestad
This chapter argues that the economic behavior of the people of the Slave Coast cannot be adequately explained by concepts drawn from market economics or from Marxism for that matter. Instead, concepts such as ‘moral economy’ and ‘ostentatious economy’ are pertinent. There may have existed a market-based sector, but it was severely controlled and not allowed to expand. The central question is what happened to the profit from the slave trade. The author argues that this profit was not, and could not be, invested in productive undertakings.
本章认为,奴隶海岸人民的经济行为不能用市场经济学或马克思主义的概念来充分解释。相反,“道德经济”和“炫耀经济”等概念是相关的。以市场为基础的行业可能存在,但受到严格控制,不允许扩张。核心问题是奴隶贸易的利润到哪里去了。作者认为,这种利润没有,也不可能投资于生产性企业。

The Long Goodbye 漫长的告别
Pub Date : 2018-08-01 DOI: 10.1093/oso/9780190876104.003.0019
F. Fuglestad
The ruler of Dahomey from 1797 (up until possibly 1818) was Adandozan. But his reign has been erased from oral memory and the local tradition. Why this is so, constitutes another mystery in Dahomean history. In any case, his reign and that of his successors saw the official but slow and tortuous disentanglement of the European and American powers from slavery, the slave trade, and the Slave Coast (until the colonial conquest). As the locals were opposed to the abolition of the slave trade, the result was for a while a moderately thriving so-called illegal slave trade with the connivance of the Brazilian authorities. In addition, a trade in palm-oil developed. If we add the final collapse of Oyo and the subsequent eruption of the Yoruba wars, we could say that prospects looked fairly promising for Dahomey. Dahomey was eclipsed, and in fact defeated at times, by the polities (some new) of the Yoruba in the east, principally Lagos and Abeokuta.
从1797年(可能一直到1818年)起,达荷美的统治者是阿丹多赞。但他的统治已经从口头记忆和当地传统中抹去。为什么会这样,构成了达荷曼历史上的另一个谜。无论如何,在他和他的继任者的统治下,欧洲和美国列强正式缓慢而曲折地摆脱了奴隶制、奴隶贸易和奴隶海岸(直到殖民征服)。由于当地人反对废除奴隶贸易,结果在一段时间内,在巴西当局的纵容下,所谓的非法奴隶贸易出现了适度繁荣。此外,棕榈油贸易也发展起来。如果再加上奥约的最后崩溃和约鲁巴战争的爆发,我们可以说达荷美的前景看起来相当光明。达荷美被东部约鲁巴人的政体(一些新的政体)黯然失色,事实上有时甚至被击败,主要是拉各斯和阿贝奥库塔。

But his reign has been erased from oral memory and the local tradition. Why this is so, constitutes another mystery in Dahomean history. In any case, his reign and that of his successors saw the official but slow and tortuous disentanglement of the European and American powers from slavery, the slave trade, and the Slave Coast (until the colonial conquest). As the locals were opposed to the abolition of the slave trade, the result was for a while a moderately thriving so-called illegal slave trade with the connivance of the Brazilian authorities. In addition, a trade in palm-oil developed. If we add the final collapse of Oyo and the subsequent eruption of the Yoruba wars, we could say that prospects looked fairly promising for Dahomey. Dahomey was eclipsed, and in fact defeated at times, by the polities (some new) of the Yoruba in the east, principally Lagos and Abeokuta.","PeriodicalId":422781,"journal":{"name":"Slave Traders by Invitation","volume":"317 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133634883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter explores how Dahomey did not really manage to stabilize the situation and especially failed to conquer new regions, a negative mark for a warrior state whose raison d’être was precisely conquest. The slave trade declined, due in part to the counterproductive regulations imposed by the new authorities. The Dahomeans were faced with competition from a new quarter: the slow rise of the slave ports of the Eastern Slave Coast, a region which Oyo began to divert its slave trade to. The story of the Dutchman Hendrik Hertogh, in the middle of it all, is detailed. Hertogh managed to erect a considerable informal (and anti-Dahomean) polity in the east, until 1738, when he was assassinated. The beginnings of the Annual Customs in Dahomey is also noted, notorious for human sacrifices on a huge scale, formally in honor of the ancestors. Human sacrifices became an integral part of Dahomean customs.
这一章探讨了达荷美如何没有真正稳定局势,特别是未能征服新的地区,这是一个勇士国家的负面标志,其être的目的正是征服。奴隶贸易下降,部分原因是由于新当局实施的适得其反的规定。达荷曼人面临着来自一个新领域的竞争:东部奴隶海岸奴隶港口的缓慢崛起,奥约开始将其奴隶贸易转移到该地区。荷兰人亨德里克·赫托(Hendrik Hertogh)的故事,在这一切的中间,是详细的。赫托格设法在东部建立了一个相当非正式的(反达荷曼的)政体,直到1738年他被暗杀。达荷美年度习俗的开始也被注意到,以大规模的人类牺牲而臭名昭着,正式纪念祖先。人祭成为达荷曼习俗的一个组成部分。
