- This chapter discusses the so-called Good Treatment Thesis in relation to slavery in the Sulu Sultanate, southern Philippines, during the first years of the American colonial period from 1899. Up until 1902, virtually all official assessments of Sulu slavery emphasized its mild and benign character, but the perception changed abruptly in the middle of 1902. This was because of greater American understanding of Sulu society, including non-elite perspectives; the increased push for economic and social reform in the southern Philippines after the end of the Philippine–American War; and the formal abolition of slavery in the Philippines by the United States Congress in July 1902.

Warfare, Bestowal, Purchase : Dutch Acquisition of Slaves in the World of Eastern Indonesia, 1650–1800

- The article investigates the acquisition and exportation of slaves from the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Timor Islands in eastern Indonesia, activities that involved interaction between Dutch, Portuguese, and indigenous actors and involved seafarers from South Sulawesi. Similar to several other politically segmented regions that practiced local religions, Timor was the object of slaving by Christian and Muslim traders, while local polities also maintained systems of coerced labour and carried out raids. The study exemplifies how a European trading company, the Dutch East India Company, used local lines of conflict to acquire manpower in a region that otherwise had limited economic opportunities.

The slave markets of the Viking world : comparative perspectives on an ‘invisible archaeology’’
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Slavery & Abolition. - 0144-039X .- 1743-9523. ; 40:4, s. 682-705

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Slaving was a prominent activity among raiding and mercantile groups operating across the early medieval world during the Viking Age (c. 750–1050 CE). Historical sources provide explicit descriptions of widespread raiding and slave taking by Viking raiders, as well as a substantial trade in captive peoples. Archaeologists, however, have long-struggled to identify evidence for the transportation and sale of captives in the material record. In order to begin addressing this issue, this study explores the comparative archaeologies and histories of slave markets in order to examine the potential form and function of these sites, and how they might have operated as part of the wider, interconnected Viking world.

Enlightenment, Scientific Exploration and Abolitionism Anders Sparrman’s and Carl Bernhard Wadström’s colonial encounters in Senegal, 1787–1788 and the British abolitionist movement

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- By the late 18th century, leading British abolitionists credited two Swedish scholars – Anders Sparrman and Carl Bernhard Wadström – for important contributions to the breakthrough of the British abolitionist movement. After witnessing the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade during a journey to Senegal, both scholars came to be explicit critics of this trade. It is argued in the article that the two Swedes contributed to the abolitionist cause particularly because of their status as academic scholars. This enabled a science-based rhetoric to complement the sentimental rhetoric of most other abolitionists at the time.

Governance, value-added and rents in plantation slavery-based value-chains
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Slavery & Abolition. - 0144-039X. ; 42:1, s. 130-150
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article studies how the governance of a colonial value-chain impacted upon the value-added created. The article focuses on the value-chain of colonial sugar produced in the slave plantation complex in the Americas. Previous research has suggested that British planters in the Caribbean were able to reap high profits because of a protected market for sugar in Britain. In this paper, it is argued that it was mainly British refiners that were able to profit from these protectionist policies. Wholesale prices of muscovado sugar are shown to have been more or less on a par with those prevalent under free-market conditions, whereas the price of refined sugar was considerably higher in Britain than it presumably would have been in a free-market. Limited competition and active collusion between refiners seem to have increased the mark-up on the refined sugar relative to the price of muscovado in Britain. Focusing only on the profitability on certain links in value-chains associated with the slave plantation complex in the Americas (most importantly the slave trade) might detract attention from how the governance structure of the value-chains allowed profits to be reaped elsewhere in the same value-chains.

Waged Slavery – Incentivizing Unfree Labour at Cape Coast Castle in the Eighteenth Century
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Slavery & Abolition. - 0144-039X. ; 37:1, s. 73-93
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article studies the payment of wages to castle slaves at Cape Coast Castle (in current-day Ghana) in the eighteenth century. A quantitative estimate shows that the wages paid to these slaves were considerably higher than subsistence costs. A large sample of wage payments is also used in order to analyse statistically the existing wage differentials among the slaves. The results indicate that a complex wage structure had been developed in order to incentivize the slaves to work and to foster loyalty towards the slaveholder.
