摘要

法国大革命期间,成千上万的革命党人和保皇党人逃离动荡的法国岛屿。许多人前往附近的岛屿,以便观察事态的发展。多米尼克位于马提尼克岛和瓜德罗普岛之间,法国人口占多数,与法国邻国的关系源远流长。本文以多米尼克为例,探讨法国大革命对东加勒比海一个非法国岛屿的影响。多米尼克从一开始就毗邻法属岛屿,这导致了它与革命政治的纠葛。它是第一个接收难民的英属岛屿,各种种族、社会和政治背景的人涌入多米尼克,给岛屿官员带来了挑战。官员们必须确定接纳移民的条件,他们是否会对殖民地构成威胁,以及如何为他们提供食物和住所。他们还担心外国人和革命思想对自己心怀不满的自由人和被奴役者的影响。本文认为,多米尼克的地理位置、异质性人口和内部不稳定性使其成为地区移民和信息网络的节点,这些因素使其卷入了席卷邻国的动乱,并最终威胁到英国对该岛的控制。

“A Place of Refuge to Republicans and Royalists”: The French Revolution in British Dominica

During the French Revolution, thousands of revolutionaries and royalists fled the turmoil in French islands. Many went to nearby islands, from which they could observe events. Situated between Martinique and Guadeloupe, Dominica had a majority French population and a long history of connection with its French neighbors. This article uses the case of Dominica to explore the effects of the French Revolution on a non-French island in the Eastern Caribbean. From the start, its proximity to the French islands led to its entanglement in revolutionary politics. It was the first British island to receive refugees, and the influx of people of all racial, social, and political backgrounds into Dominica posed challenges for island officials. Officials had to determine on what terms to admit emigrants, whether they posed a threat to the colony, and how to feed and house them. They also worried about the influences of foreigners and revolutionary ideas on their own disaffected free and enslaved populations. This article argues that Dominica's location, heterogeneous population, and internal instability allowed it to become a node for regional migration and information networks that embroiled it in the turmoil that engulfed its neighbors and ultimately threatened British control of the island.

期刊介绍: The official publication of the North American Conference on British Studies (NACBS), the Journal of British Studies, has positioned itself as the critical resource for scholars of British culture from the Middle Ages through the present. Drawing on both established and emerging approaches, JBS presents scholarly articles and books reviews from renowned international authors who share their ideas on British society, politics, law, economics, and the arts. In 2005 (Vol. 44), the journal merged with the NACBS publication Albion, creating one journal for NACBS membership. The NACBS also sponsors an annual conference , as well as several academic prizes, graduate fellowships, and undergraduate essay contests .
