As historical geographer Miles Ogborn reveals in The Freedom of Speech, no repressive tool has been as pervasive as the policing of words themselves. Offering a compelling new lens on transatlantic slavery, this book gathers rich historical data from Barbados, Jamaica, the United Kingdom, and North America to delve into the complex relationships between voice, slavery, and empire. From the most quotidian encounters to formal rules of what counted as evidence in court, the battleground of slavery lay in who could speak and under what conditions. But, as Ogborn shows through keen attention to the narratives and silences in the archives, if slavery as a legal status could be made by words, it could be unmade by them as well. A masterful look at the duality of domination, The Freedom of Speech offers a rich interpretation of oral cultures that both supported and constantly threatened to undermine the slave system. 650 0 $a Slaves $z Jamaica $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Slaves $z Barbados $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Oral communication $z Jamaica. 650 0 $a Oral communication $z Barbados. 650 0 $a Slavery $z Jamaica $x History. 650 0 $a Slavery $z Barbados $x History. 650 7 $a Oral communication. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01047000 650 7 $a Slavery. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120426 650 7 $a Slaves $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120577 651 7 $a Barbados. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205547 651 7 $a Jamaica. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211575 650 7 $a MuÂndliche Kommunikation $2 gnd 650 7 $a Sklave $2 gnd 650 7 $a Soziale Situation $2 gnd 651 7 $a Barbados $2 gnd 651 7 $a Jamaika $2 gnd 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780226657714 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025043.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B6C34F28586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
