“…A posição da BFASS nessa questão, a forma como recebia e coletava informações, como pressionava as autoridades e poderes competentes também permitem endossar a avaliação de Richard Huzzey, segundo a qual, "o desenvolvimento da diretriz antiescravista foi um conjunto de decisões individuais, não a triste inevitabilidade da conspiração ou da circunstância material". 58 Por outro lado, as ações da BFASS e dos seus oponentes, na questão aqui tratada, permitem discordar de outra pesquisa, segundo a qual "não havia nenhum esquema consciente para perpetuar o tráfico de escravos sob um novo disfarce, nem…”

O artigo explora como os abolicionistas da British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society (BFASS) incentivaram o “esquema de imigração africana”, implantado a partir do início da década de 1840, para transferir os “africanos libertados” dos navios negreiros, capturados pelos cruzadores britânicos, para as colônias das Índias Ocidentais. Apesar do apoio ao esquema, os abolicionistas criticaram de forma sistemática e insistente todas as iniciativas das assembleias coloniais e do governo britânico para alterar as condições de trabalho desses imigrantes. Essa posição indica que a BFASS concedeu primazia aos aspectos humanitários dessa imigração frente aos interesses econômicos e políticos coloniais.

“…As Richard Huzzey has demonstrated, Lord John Russell's Whig government presented the issue as a vote of confidence in his administration. 77 The government won the vote by 232 votes to 154, but the strength of opposition threatened to undermine the naval squadrons. 78 Following the crucial vote, Russell was under pressure to consolidate parliamentary and public support for the naval squadrons.…”

The Adjudication of Slave Ship Captures, Coercive Intervention, and Value Exchange in Comparative Atlantic Perspective, ca. 1839–1870

What were the consequences of creating jurisdictions against the transatlantic slave trade in the nineteenth-century Atlantic world? Answering this question requires a comparative focus on the courts of mixed commission that adjudicated naval captures of slave ships, located at Sierra Leone (the foremost site of British abolition) and Brazil (the primary mid-century target). Court jurisdiction conflicted with sovereign jurisdiction regarding the presence of recaptives (“liberated Africans”), the risk of re-enslavement, and unlawful naval captures. To rescue the re-enslaved and compensate the loss of property, regulating anti-slave-trade jurisdiction involved coercive strategies alternating with negotiated value exchanges. Abolition as a legal field emerged from interactions between liberated Africans, British diplomatic and naval agents, and local political elites in Brazil and on the Upper Guinea Coast.

“…David Turnbull, in Cuba, and Lyons McLeod, in Mozambique, played a central role as abolitionist on the ground in developing what Richard Huzzey has defined as "anti-slavery imperialism." 3 In his essay, Sparks explores the complex task that these two British diplomats had in advancing the abolitionist cause in such manifestly hostile places and navigates the ways in which Turnbull and McLeod altered, defined and defied imperial policies and practices. Ultimately, Sparks' work offers a novel and compelling exploration of the fight for abolition in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.…”

Taking the theme of "abolition" as its point of departure, this collection of essays builds on the significant growth in scholarship on unfree labour in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds during the past two decades. The essays revisit some of the persistent problems posed by the traditional comparative literature on slavery and indentured labour and identify new and exciting areas for future research.
