SUMMARY:Slaves\, Silver\, and Atlantic Empires (Alex Borucki\, UC Irvine)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next meeting of the new Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History as we welcome Alex Borucki\, who will deliver a talk entitled “Slaves\, Silver\, and Atlantic Empires: The Slave Trade to Spanish South America\, 1700-1810”. \nThe talk will be held in HSSB 4020 at 5 pm on Wednesday\, November 1st\, and will be followed by a small reception. \nProf. Borucki has pre-circulated a paper. Please e-mail jcobo@history.ucsb.edu to obtain a copy. \nAbstract: This presentation examines the slave voyage conducted by the ship Ascension (1795-1797) connecting Rhode Island\, Mozambique\, and the Río de la Plata (The River of Silver\, today’s Argentina and Uruguay)\, as a window into the eighteenth-century slave trade to Spanish South America. In this era\, the slave trade became the key to accessing Spanish American consumers and silver for foreign traders. As a result\, Spanish American silver entered English\, Dutch\, and Portuguese commercial circuits beneficial to metropolitan merchants and public revenues. The story of the Ascension’s captives goes beyond Anglo-American conceptions of the Middle Passage born out of the triangular trade\, as the yearlong ordeal of these Africans involved Indian Ocean embarkation\, Atlantic crossing to Montevideo\, a journey on oxen-carts throughout the Pampas and on mule-trains across the Andes into Chile\, and their final reshipment in the Pacific to Lima. \nAbout the Speaker: Alex Borucki is Associate Professor of History at UC Irvine.
