The author shows how from the late eighteenth century through Reconstruction, emancipation efforts in the United States and present-day Canada were accompanied by attempts to relocate freed blacks to tropical regions, as black bodies were deemed to be more physiologically compatible with tropical climates. This logic conceived of freedom as a racially segregated condition based upon geography and climate. Regardless of whether freed people became tenant farmers in Sierra Leone or plantation laborers throughout the Caribbean, their relocation would provide whites with a monopoly over the benefits of settling indigenous land in temperate zones throughout North America. At the same time, black activists and intellectuals contested these geographic-based controls by developing alternative discourses on race and the environment. By tracing these negotiations of the transnational racialization of freedom, the author demonstrates the importance of considering settler colonialism and black freedom together while complicating the prevailing frames through which the intertwined histories of British and U.S. emancipation and colonialism have been understood. 650 0 $a Slaves $x Emancipation. 650 0 $a Blacks $x Colonization $z Tropics. 651 0 $a Tropics $x Colonization. 650 0 $a Free blacks. 650 0 $a Race relations $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Race relations $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Blacks $x Colonization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833896 650 7 $a Colonization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868483 650 7 $a Free blacks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00933846 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Slaves $x Emancipation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120540 651 7 $a Tropics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240674 650 7 $a Schwarze $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4116433-7 650 7 $a Siedler $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4332482-4 650 7 $a Emanzipation $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4130667-3 651 7 $a USA $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4078704-7 651 7 $a Kanada $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4029456-0 648 7 $a 1700-1899 $2 fast 648 4 $a Geschichte. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Asaka, Ikuko, 1975- $t Tropical freedom. $d Durham : Duke University Press, 2017 $z 9780822372752 $w (DLC) 2017059585 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219012733.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9FDFB002E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
