In Fictions of Consent Urvashi Chakravarty excavates the ideologies of slavery that took root in early modern England in the period that preceded the development of an organized trade in enslaved persons. Despite the persistent fiction that England was innocent of racialized slavery, Chakravarty argues that we must hold early modern England¿and its narratives of exceptional and essential freedom¿to account for the frameworks of slavery that it paradoxically but strategically engendered. Slavery was not a foreign or faraway phenomenon, she demonstrates; rather, the ideologies of slavery were seeded in the quotidian spaces of English life and in the everyday contexts of England's service society, from the family to the household, in the theater and, especially, the grammar school classroom, where the legacies of classical slavery and race were inherited and negotiated.

In Fictions of Consent Urvashi Chakravarty excavates the ideologies of slavery that took root in early modern England in the period that preceded the development of an organized trade in enslaved persons.Despite the persistent fiction that England was innocent of racialized slavery, Chakravarty argues that we must hold early modern England—and its narratives of exceptional and essential freedom—to account for the frameworks of slavery that it paradoxically but strategically engendered. Slavery was not a foreign or faraway phenomenon, she demonstrates; rather, the ideologies of slavery were seeded in the quotidian spaces of English life and in the everyday contexts of England''s service society, from the family to the household, in the theater and, especially, the grammar school classroom, where the legacies of classical slavery and race were inherited and negotiated. The English conscripted the Roman freedman''s figurative "stain of slavery" to register an immutable sign of bondage and to secure slavery to epidermal difference, even as early modern frameworks of "volitional service" provided the strategies for later fictions of "happy slavery" in the Atlantic world. Early modern texts presage the heritability of slavery in early America, reveal the embeddedness of slavery within the family, and illuminate the ways in which bloodlines of descent underwrite the racialized futures of enslavement.Fictions of Consent intervenes in a number of areas including early modern literary and cultural studies, premodern critical race studies, the reception of classical antiquity, and the histories of law, education, and labor to uncover the conceptual genealogies of slavery and servitude and to reveal the everyday sites where the foundations of racialized slavery were laid. Although early modern England claimed to have "too pure an Air for Slaves to breathe in," Chakravarty reveals slavery was a quintessentially English phenomenon.

Oppdag "Fictions of Consent": En Dypdykk i Slaveriets Ideologier

"Fictions of Consent: Slavery, Servitude, and Free Service in Early Modern England" av Urvashi Chakravarty er en banebrytende studie som avdekker de skjulte lagene av slaveri og tjeneste i det tidlige moderne England. I en tid der det ble antatt at England var fritt for rasialisert slaveri, utfordrer Chakravarty denne myten og viser hvordan slaveri faktisk var dypt forankret i engelske narrativer og samfunn.

Fascinerende Innblikk i Engelsk Historie

I "Fictions of Consent" gransker Chakravarty hvordan ideene om slaveri ikke bare var teoretiske, men en del av hverdagen. Boken utforsker:

  • Sosiale Rammer: Fra familielivet til husholdningen, og til og med i teateret, ser forfatteren på hvordan slaveri var en del av den daglige engelske konteksten.
  • Utdannelse: Spesielt i klasserommet ble arven fra klassisk slaveri og rase forhandlet og videreført.
  • Raseforhold: Chakravarty avdekker hvordan den romerske frigjorte mannens "flekk av slaveri" ble brukt for å opprettholde ideene om rase og underkastelse.

Relevans for Dagens Debatt

Med en analytisk tilnærming som strekker seg gjennom litteratur, lovhistorie, og arbeidsstudier, viser "Fictions of Consent" hvordan ideene om slavehandel senere påvirket utviklingen av slaveri i Amerika. Chakravarty stiller spørsmål ved hvordan historiske konstruerte forestillinger om frihet ble brukt til å rettferdiggjøre slaveri, og avdekker at denne tankegangen fortsatt er relevant i dagens samfunn.

En Uunnværlig Ressurs for Studenter og Forskere

Enten du er en student i kulturstudier, lover, eller historie, gir "Fictions of Consent" et uunnværlig perspektiv. Boken utforsker de komplekse sammenhengene mellom makt, rase, og sosial struktur, noe som gjør den til en viktig lesning for alle som ønsker å forstå dybden av slaveriets innvirkning på dagens samfunn.

Oppdag hvordan England, til tross for sitt rykte, var hjemsted for en rik, men ofte oversett, historie knyttet til slaveri med "Fictions of Consent." La deg fascinere av forbindelsene mellom fortid og nåtid, og hva de kan lære oss.
