Abstract:The composite phrase, "our best places," expresses what was at stake in early Indigenous struggles for self-determination and well-being and against colonial invasion in northeastern North America. This article critiques the colonial archive's representation of hyper-masculine Native resistance, by instead asking questions about women's labor and knowledge, about diverse cultivated and foraged plants, and about the place-based dimensions of food sovereignty. Narragansett sachem Miantonomi's organizing activities across the Native Northeast in the early 1640s can be reframed and better understood by applying place-based methodologies to specific sites within the intertribal alliance: in this case, by centering Miantonomi's strong ties of diplomacy and kinship at Suckiaug/Hartford and other Wangunk villages along the lower-middle Connecticut River. There, Wangunk women's knowledge of diverse wetland plants on the floodplains and in the coves of the Connecticut River was integral to food sovereignty. Following recent work in Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS), and drawing on insights from archaeology, environmental history, and political ecology, this essay reconstructs an alternative version of Miantonomi's message to allies at Suckiaug and other inland freshwater sites, replacing colonial authorities' obsession with masculine assertions of Native power with more diverse and nuanced affirmations of gendered environmental knowledge, power over the best places, and collective sustenance.
摘要:“我们最好的地方”(our best places)这个合成词表达了北美东北部早期原住民争取自决和福祉以及反对殖民入侵的斗争中所面临的危险。这篇文章批判了殖民档案对超男性化的土著抵抗的表现,取而代之的是提出关于妇女劳动和知识,关于各种种植和觅食植物,以及关于食物主权的基于地方的维度的问题。17世纪40年代早期,Narragansett sachem Miantonomi在东北土著地区的组织活动可以通过将基于地点的方法应用于部落间联盟的特定地点来重新定义和更好地理解:在这种情况下,通过将Miantonomi强大的外交关系和亲属关系集中在sukiaug /Hartford和康涅狄格河中下游的其他Wangunk村庄。在那里,旺孔克妇女对洪泛区和康涅狄格河海湾中各种湿地植物的了解是食物主权不可或缺的一部分。根据美国原住民和土著研究(NAIS)最近的工作,并借鉴考古学,环境史和政治生态学的见解,本文重建了Miantonomi向苏基奥格和其他内陆淡水遗址的盟友传达的信息的另一种版本,取代了殖民当局对土著权力的男性断言的痴迷,用更多样化和微妙的性别环境知识的肯定,在最好的地方的权力,集体生计。

Abstract:In the second half of the eighteenth century, French physician Antoine Poissonnier-Desperrièresproposed a fully vegetarian diet for the French Navy in an attempt to combat the effects of scurvy. France was investing heavily in revitalizing its Navy after the Seven Years War in an effort to gain ground against Britain after substantial French losses in the Atlantic world, and scurvy had a devastating impact on these efforts. Desperrières occupied a privileged position in the French Navy that allowed him to implement his plans on a limited number of naval expeditions, although his experimental vegetarian naval ration proved a failure at both preventing scurvy and convincing the Navy to change the ration for dependent sailors. Desperrières' ideas drew from the rise of scientific food expertise in France in this period, if not from the long history of principled vegetarianism in Europe, and his trials contributed to the longstanding cultures of empiricism that marked knowledge production in the Atlantic world. Nevertheless, Desperrières' theories of the causes and cures for scurvy reflected enduring conceptions of the relationship between human bodies, the foods they consumed, and the maritime environment. To his disappointment, Desperrières remained a marginal figure in the wider debates over scurvy that celebrated contemporaries such as James Lind and James Cook.
摘要:在18世纪下半叶,法国医生Antoine poissonnier - desperri为法国海军提出了一种全素食的饮食,试图对抗坏血病的影响。法国在七年战争后大力投资振兴其海军,以在大西洋世界遭受重大损失后与英国抗衡,坏血病对这些努力产生了毁灭性的影响。desperriires在法国海军中占有特权地位,这使得他能够在有限数量的海军远征中实施他的计划,尽管他的实验性素食海军口粮在预防坏血病和说服海军改变依赖水手的口粮方面都失败了。desperri的想法来自于这一时期法国科学食品专业知识的兴起,如果不是来自于欧洲素食主义的悠久历史的话,他的实验对大西洋世界长期存在的经验主义文化做出了贡献,这种文化标志着知识的产生。尽管如此,desperriires关于坏血病的病因和治疗的理论反映了人类身体、他们所食用的食物和海洋环境之间关系的持久观念。令他失望的是,在与詹姆斯·林德(James Lind)和詹姆斯·库克(James Cook)等同时代人有关坏血病的广泛辩论中,亡命之徒仍然是一个边缘人物。

"The reasonable sustentation of human life": Food Rations and the Problem of Provision in British Caribbean Slavery “人类生命的合理维持”:英国加勒比奴隶的食物配给和供应问题

Abstract:This article examines how debates and policies concerning the nutritional standards of West Indian slaves were shaped by comparisons to the eating habits of other laboring and impoverished groups in early nineteenth-century Britain and the Empire. Planters and abolitionists argued over the relative adequacy of slaves' sustenance vis-à-vis European laborers since at least the late-eighteenth century. Proslavery figures insisted that the supposed ease of procuring subsistence in tropical colonies rendered such comparisons largely moot. However, abolitionists increasingly mobilized data on the food consumption of English agricultural workers, prisoners, and other subjects in order to prove that the typical rations given to many slaves in the sugar colonies created conditions of malnourishment and population decline. Abolitionists' empirical efforts to quantify slaves' sustenance influenced policies crafted by the Colonial Office to establish a universal scale of food allowances for enslaved laborers on the eve of Emancipation—one of the most advanced dietary reforms concerning a laboring population in the early nineteenth-century British Empire. While the Colonial Office's ration was only partially implemented throughout the slave colonies, the questions that it sparked about what constituted adequate nourishment for plantation labor shaped subsequent debates over the Emancipation Act (1833) and the Apprenticeship System (1834–38).
摘要:本文通过与19世纪早期英国和大英帝国其他劳动和贫困群体的饮食习惯进行比较,研究了有关西印度奴隶营养标准的辩论和政策是如何形成的。至少从18世纪后期开始,种植园主和废奴主义者就奴隶相对-à-vis欧洲劳工的生存能力争论不休。支持奴隶制的人士坚持认为,在热带殖民地获得生存所需的所谓便利,使得这种比较在很大程度上没有意义。然而,废奴主义者越来越多地动员有关英国农业工人、囚犯和其他对象的食物消费数据,以证明在制糖殖民地给许多奴隶的典型口粮造成了营养不良和人口下降的条件。废奴主义者在量化奴隶食物方面的经验努力影响了殖民办公室制定的政策,该政策在解放前夕为被奴役的劳工建立了一个普遍规模的食物补贴——这是19世纪早期大英帝国关于劳动人口的最先进的饮食改革之一。虽然殖民地办公室的定量配给只在奴隶殖民地得到部分实施,但它引发的关于什么是足够的种植园劳动力营养的问题,影响了随后关于《解放法案》(1833年)和《学徒制度》(1834-38年)的辩论。

"Nothing which hunger will not devour": Disgust and Sustenance in the Northeastern Borderlands “饥不择食”:东北边陲的厌恶与生存

Abstract:In the borderlands of northeastern North America in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, hunger forced colonists and Native Americans to eat substances they found disgusting. This article reads captivity narratives and missionary accounts to argue that disgust fundamentally tested, transgressed, and reified cultural boundaries in the borderlands, while shaping the archive of early American foodways. In doing so, this article historicizes the concept of disgust and its formation in early America, and examines how colonial disgust formed perceptions of Indigenous food supplies. English and French settlers recorded their disgust with Indian food and claimed that Indigenous people could not even conceptualize disgust. The rhetorical aims of this literature of disgust shaped the colonial written archive, which records far fewer incidences of Native disgust. Nevertheless, these same sources document Native experiences of revulsion at colonial foodways and the foodways of other Native nations, which complicate the colonial narrative of the absence of Indian revulsion. A case study of fermentation and decay in Native and colonial foodways demonstrates that colonists saw Native fermented foods as rotten and thereby understated Native Americans' food supplies, contributing to an imperial discourse on Indigenous "poverty," food systems, and land use that sought to justify colonialism.
摘要:在17世纪和18世纪的北美东北部边境地区,饥饿迫使殖民者和印第安人吃他们觉得恶心的东西。这篇文章读了囚禁叙事和传教士的叙述,认为厌恶从根本上考验、超越和具体化了边境地区的文化界限,同时塑造了早期美国饮食方式的档案。在此过程中,本文将厌恶的概念及其在早期美国的形成历史化,并研究殖民厌恶如何形成对土著食物供应的看法。英国和法国移民记录了他们对印度食物的厌恶,并声称土著居民甚至无法将厌恶概念化。这种厌恶文学的修辞目的塑造了殖民时期的书面档案,这些档案记录的土著厌恶事件要少得多。然而,这些同样的资料记录了印第安人对殖民地食物方式和其他土著民族食物方式的厌恶经历,这使得印第安人没有厌恶的殖民叙事变得复杂。一个关于土著和殖民地食物方式中发酵和腐烂的案例研究表明,殖民者认为土著发酵食品是腐烂的,因此低估了印第安人的食物供应,从而促成了关于土著“贫困”、食物系统和土地使用的帝国话语,试图为殖民主义辩护。

abstract:The history of indentured migration to seventeenth-century English America relies heavily on a single body of sources known as the London record, a collection of contracts and registrations of servants who emigrated from the capital between 1683 and 1686. Of the original 1,000 contracts, 189 have long been considered to be missing. This article uses methods from the study of paperwork and print culture to demonstrate that Huntington Library item HM 1365 is one of those missing contracts. Read as a part of its parent collection, this indenture is evidence of how the writing and archiving of late seventeenth-century transatlantic service contracts functioned to constrain would-be servants' choices and protections during recruitment and servitude, while legitimizing new and exploitative practices in colonial labor relations.
17世纪英属美洲契约移民的历史在很大程度上依赖于伦敦记录,这是1683年至1686年间从首都移民的仆人的合同和登记的集合。在最初的1000份合同中,189份长期以来一直被认为缺失。本文采用文书和印刷文化研究的方法来证明亨廷顿图书馆的HM 1365项目是那些丢失的合同之一。作为其原始收藏的一部分,这份契约证明了17世纪晚期跨大西洋服务合同的写作和存档如何在招募和奴役期间限制潜在仆人的选择和保护,同时使殖民劳动关系中的新剥削行为合法化。

abstract:This essay situates the life of Mary Kittamaquund Brent, the so-called "Pocahontas of Maryland," within the larger context of intercultural diplomacy in seventeenth-century Maryland. It argues that the marriage between Mary, an eleven-year-old girl and the daughter of the Tayac (chief) of the Piscataway Confederacy, and Giles Brent, a forty-year-old member of a wealthy English Catholic family, demonstrates that sex and reproduction were key strategies for establishing diplomatic relationships between groups and for securing power in a particularly tumultuous time. Illuminating Mary Kittamaquund Brent's position as an embodied locus of power struggles between Chesapeake tribes and Anglo-Marylanders discloses both the role of Indigenous women in diplomacy and the importance of kinship in interethnic alliances. This article provides a brief background of Piscataway and Maryland colonial history, contextualizes the marriage of Giles and Mary Kittamaquund Brent, analyzes the place of sex and reproduction in western shore diplomacy, and considers Mary Kittamaquund Brent's place in the history of the seventeenth-century Chesapeake.
本文将被称为“马里兰的波卡洪塔斯”的玛丽·基塔昆德·布伦特的一生置于17世纪马里兰州跨文化外交的大背景下。书中认为,11岁的女孩玛丽是皮斯卡塔韦邦联塔亚克(首领)的女儿,而40岁的吉尔斯·布伦特则是一个富裕的英国天主教家庭的成员,这段婚姻表明,在一个特别动荡的时代,性和生殖是建立团体间外交关系和确保权力的关键策略。揭示了玛丽·基塔玛昆德·布伦特作为切萨皮克部落和盎格鲁-马里兰人之间权力斗争的具体场所的地位,揭示了土著妇女在外交中的作用和种族间联盟中亲属关系的重要性。本文简要介绍了皮斯卡塔威和马里兰殖民历史的背景,将贾尔斯和玛丽·基塔玛昆德·布伦特的婚姻置于语境中,分析了性和生育在西海岸外交中的地位,并考虑了玛丽·基塔玛昆德·布伦特在17世纪切萨皮克历史中的地位。

"Nothing will satisfy you but money": Debt, Freedom, and the Mid-Atlantic Culture of Money, 1670–1764 “除了钱什么都满足不了你”:债务、自由和大西洋中部的金钱文化,1670-1764

abstract:Politics in British America often centered on the issue of currency. Competing ideas about the nature of money and what constituted just relations of credit and debt also pervaded everyday colonial culture. By the late seventeenth century, some mid-Atlantic colonists believed that colonial debt laws and powerful urban merchants' monopolization of coin led to the appropriation of debtors' land and labor. Assembly emissions of bills of credit in New York and Pennsylvania in the 1710s and 1720s eased many debtors' burdens, but the creation of provincial paper monies enhanced rather than diminished money's importance as an object of social and political controversy in the region. By the middle of the eighteenth century, supporters of paper money believed that bills of credit uniquely embodied liberty, possessing the power to maintain ordinary inhabitants' independence. Monetary scarcity, by contrast, portended dispossession and bondage. This article analyzes the petitions, pamphlets, editorials, broadsides, and crowd actions that contributed to the creation of a distinctive culture of money in the mid-Atlantic between the 1670s and 1760s.
英属美洲的政治常常以货币问题为中心。关于货币的本质和什么构成了公正的信用和债务关系的相互矛盾的观点也弥漫在日常的殖民文化中。到17世纪晚期,一些大西洋中部的殖民者认为,殖民地的债务法和强大的城市商人对硬币的垄断导致了债务人的土地和劳动力被侵占。在18世纪10年代和20年代,纽约和宾夕法尼亚州发行了大量的信用票据,减轻了许多债务人的负担,但地方纸币的发行提高了货币的重要性,而不是降低了货币在该地区作为社会和政治争议对象的重要性。到18世纪中叶,纸币的支持者认为,信用券独特地体现了自由,拥有维持普通居民独立的权力。相比之下,货币短缺预示着剥夺和束缚。本文分析了请愿书、小册子、社论、海报和群众行动,它们促成了1670年代至1760年代大西洋中部独特的金钱文化的形成。

abstract:In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, English explorers and settlers disagreed about the importance of converting their North American holdings into precious metals. Whereas Martin Frobisher and John Winthrop Jr. regarded alchemy as a pathway to prosperity, Anne Bradstreet and Edward Taylor regarded rumors of mineral wealth in the New World as red herrings distracting English colonists from their true purpose and motives. The poems of Bradstreet and Taylor relocate the wealth of the Americas from gold and silver mines to household economies and familial relations. They promote huswifery and its domestic products as the primary purpose of English colonization, celebrating kitchen alchemy as an alternative to the extraction and refinement of precious metals in colonial mining operations. Lauding the metamorphic potential of women's work, their poetics of domesticity invites readers to reconsider the priorities of American colonization by finding wealth in the household goods and relational wealth of kitchen hearths rather than in the gold sought by Frobisher, Winthrop, and others.
在16世纪和17世纪,英国探险家和定居者对将他们在北美的财产转换成贵金属的重要性存在分歧。马丁·弗罗比舍和小约翰·温斯洛普认为炼金术是通往繁荣的途径,而安妮·布拉德斯特里特和爱德华·泰勒则认为有关新大陆矿产财富的谣言是转移注意力的东西,分散了英国殖民者的真正目的和动机。布拉德斯特里特和泰勒的诗歌将美洲的财富从金矿和银矿转移到家庭经济和家庭关系上。他们将家政及其国内产品作为英国殖民的主要目的,颂扬厨房炼金术是在殖民地采矿作业中提取和提炼贵金属的一种替代方法。她们对家庭生活的诗学赞美了女性工作的潜力,并邀请读者通过在家庭用品和厨房壁炉的关系财富中寻找财富,而不是在Frobisher, Winthrop和其他人所寻求的黄金中寻找财富,来重新考虑美国殖民的优先事项。

William Fishbourn's "misfortune": Public Accounting and Paper Money in Early Pennsylvania 威廉·菲什伯恩的“不幸”:宾州早期的公共会计与纸币

abstract:In January 1731, the Pennsylvania General Assembly impeached William Fishbourn, the official responsible for managing the provincial paper currency, for misappropriating "diverse great sums of the public money bills of credit to his own use" and for staging a burglary to cover-up the embezzlement. Fishbourn was not the first colonial public servant to be charged with financial malfeasance, and he would not be the last accused of embezzling Pennsylvania's paper currency. He was, however, the first to be subjected to a lengthy and antagonistic audit that caught him out when he was unable to come up with the paper notes thought to be in his care. In the conduct of the audit and the subsequent inquiry into the alleged burglary, as well as in Fishbourn's defense, we glimpse the changing tenor of debate around the practice of public finance, the difficulties of managing a novel paper currency, and how provincial notes quickly became a powerful policy tool and political weapon in the increasingly vitriolic debates concerning provincial taxation, debt, and the balance of trade.
1731年1月,宾夕法尼亚州议会弹劾负责管理省纸币的官员威廉·菲什伯恩(William Fishbourn),理由是他挪用“大量公共货币信用票据供自己使用”,并策划入室盗窃以掩盖挪用公款的行为。菲什伯恩不是第一个被控财政渎职的殖民地公务员,他也不会是最后一个被控挪用宾夕法尼亚州纸币的人。然而,他是第一个受到冗长而充满敌意的审查的人,因为他无法写出被认为由他负责的纸质笔记。在审计和随后对涉嫌入室盗窃的调查中,以及在菲什伯恩的辩护中,我们看到了围绕公共财政实践的辩论的变化趋势,管理新型纸币的困难,以及省级纸币如何迅速成为有关省级税收,债务和贸易平衡的日益尖刻的辩论中强有力的政策工具和政治武器。

"Let us unanimously lay aside foreign Superfluities": Textile Production and British Colonial Identity in the 1760s “让我们一致把外国的多余物品放在一边”:18世纪60年代的纺织品生产和英国殖民身份

abstract:T. H. Breen's The Marketplace of Revolution reshaped Revolutionary War scholarship by arguing that protesting British taxes on material goods both galvanized and united colonists from multiple backgrounds. Essays published in Rhode Island's Newport Mercury demonstrate, however, that arguments in favor of home textile production in the British North American colonies were not confined solely to protesting colonists. The months leading up to the Stamp Act crisis in 1765 saw twenty such articles by colonists who would identify as Loyalists during the Revolutionary War; the years following the Stamp Act crisis saw twenty-three articles by colonists who would identify as Patriots arguing in favor of home textile production in Rhode Island. The Second Calico Act in 1721 had stated that residents of the British Isles could only purchase British-made textiles, but that American colonists were to be encouraged to purchase imported fabrics from India. The break caused by the American Revolution would come in time, but for the moment, Rhode Island colonists were eager to claim their right to the privileges and protections of British subjecthood through their identities as textile-producing Britons.
文摘:T。布林(H. Breen)的《革命市场》(The Marketplace of Revolution)重塑了独立战争学术,他认为,抗议英国对物质商品征税,既激励了来自不同背景的殖民者,也团结了他们。然而,发表在罗德岛《新港信使报》上的文章表明,支持在英属北美殖民地生产家用纺织品的论点并不仅仅局限于抗议的殖民者。在1765年印花税法案危机爆发前的几个月里,独立战争期间自称为保皇派的殖民者发表了20篇这样的文章;在《印花税法案》危机之后的几年里,自称爱国者的殖民者发表了23篇文章,主张在罗德岛生产家用纺织品。1721年的《第二印花布法案》规定,不列颠群岛的居民只能购买英国制造的纺织品,但鼓励美国殖民者购买从印度进口的纺织品。美国独立战争导致的分裂迟早会到来,但就目前而言,罗德岛殖民地居民渴望通过他们作为英国纺织业生产者的身份,主张他们享有英国臣民身份的特权和保护。
