“…These enslaved Afrikans, who were still in tune with themselves, decided to flee Ayllon’s colony and make their homes with the local Guale people, the original inhabitants of this region. After joining the Guale, both groups organized a collaborated and successful rebellion that ultimately destroyed San Miguel de Gualdape (Landers, 2013, p. 148). In 1531, enslaved Afrikans in Colombia would also destroy the Spanish-controlled town of Santa Marta.…”

On July 7th, 2021, Ayiti president Jovenel Moïse was assassinated in his private residence in Pétion-Ville, which many recognized as a planned orchestrated attack (Roberts, 2021). The assassination was also 2 years after the renowned 2019 political unrest and continuous calls for his resignation from the Ayisyen (Haitian) citizens who have been tired of the long legacy of corrupt rules from political elites who are the guard dogs of the United States, France, and other foreign powers. To fill the void after President Moïse's assassination, an ex-police officer named Jimmy "Babekyou" Chérizier would unite a coalition of gangs known as "G9" to lead an armed revolution against Ayiti's business and political elites. Chérizier claims the purpose of the revolution is to deliver Ayiti from the opposition, foreign powers, and the Ayisyen bourgeoisie who control the government (Jean-Baptiste, 2021).Those who have a long historical memory of Ayiti history are forced to recall Ayiti president Jean Vilbrun Guillaume Sam's assassination on March

“…All of these activities would have formed part of the armory of the colonised or enslaved, including solidarities between different communities, around food autonomies. Narratives of rice seed being braided into the hair of women who were taken captive, or the establishment of provision plots at a distance from the plantation, as well as Caribbean marronage [45] are parts of what constituted a defiance of the colonial order. The resurgence of the wetiko concept reasserts a trope of insatiable cannibalistic greed to be resisted as a latter-day defiance of the coloniality that continues to disarrange and disfigure the lives of first peoples in North America under settler colonialism [46].…”

Systems of Food and Systems of Violence: An Intervention for the Special Issue on “Community Self Organisation, Sustainability and Resilience in Food Systems”

This intervention critiques the rationale which underpins the authority of the food system as a context for sustainability, resilience and self-organisation. We apply learning from embodied practice, in particular The Food Journey©, to demonstrate the existence of harm and trauma arising from the overrepresentation of the liberal model of Man as constituting the only reality of humanity. This model has, in reality been a colonial, capitalising force of violent dispossession. It is this context that has produced global circulations of agricultural produce, systematised by a colonialism which violates the integrity of all that it encounters as different. Colonialities of being, power and knowledge extract and exploit globally both people and places as legacies of colonialism and perpetuate an abyssal divide between worlds. We unsettle and reconfigure both geopolitical contemporary and historic accounts of food-related narratives. We do this to help reveal how the ‘food system’ is actually a mainly Euro-American-centred narrative of dispossession, presented as universal. We propose the use of decolonial tools that are pluriversal, ecological and embodied as a means of interrogating the present system design, including its academic and field practice. The embrace of decolonial tools have the potential to take us beyond mere emancipation, cutting through old definitions and understandings of how food sovereignty, farm production, land justice and food itself are understood and applied as concepts. The outcome—as a continuous process of engagement, learning and redefinition—can then lead us towards a relational pluriverse as an expression of freedom and full nourishment for all humans and for the Earth, which is, in itself, a necessary healing.

Early Modern Atlantic Cities

The Atlantic World was an oceanic system circulating goods, people, and ideas that emerged in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century. European imperialism was its motor, while its character derived from the interactions between peoples indigenous to Europe, the Americas, and Africa. Much of the everyday workings of this oceanic system took place in urban settings. By sustaining the connections between these disparate regions, cities and towns became essential to the transformations that occurred in this early modern era. This Element, traces the emergence of the Atlantic city as a site of contact, an agent of colonization, a central node in networks of exchange, and an arena of political contestation. Cities of the Atlantic World operated at the juncture of many of the core processes in a global history of capitalism and of rising social and racial inequality. A source of analogous experiences of division as well as unity, they helped shape the Atlantic world as a coherent geography of analysis.
