Lecture Notes
Colonial Slavery and formation of Victorian Britian
- Cultural Capital – Pierre Bourdieu
(accumulation of social and cultural assets of a person – from education, marriage, home, cultural artefacts – that allow for social mobility in a stratified society). Symbolic capital; distinction.
- The mutual constitution of the colony and the metropole – challenging myopia of nationalist histories.
- Abolition of slave trade – Slave Trade Act 1807
- Slavery Abolition Act 1833 – Abolished Slavery throughout the British Empire
- Slavery ownership – virtually invisible in British history – strategies of evasion, euphemism, and elision. E.g. in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (ODNB)
- West India proprietor – victim of slave system and its abolition – e.g. by Govt’s policies
- Or slave-owners represented collectively as outworn and reactionary
- Re-inscribing slave-ownership to modern British history.
- Importance of slave owners in the period following Emancipation?
-Legacies of slave ownership
- Direct Causal relationship – recipients of Compensation
- Less direct
- Activities of descendants of slave-owners
Legacies – Formation of Britain Afterlife of Slavery Reinstating the term Slave-Owner
- Absentee slave owners – withdrew to Britain – disinvestment from former slave economies – reinvest in e.g. Railways
- Remain – newer colonies and new ways of labour appropriation – Indentured labour
- Slave owners in British society as Agents and Subjects
- Compensation – Pounds 20 million
- System of AP prenticeship; other ways of organizing labour
- Compensation – meant state’s acceptance that the institution of slavery had been legally and politically sanctioned and that the nation ought to bear the cost of loss of property to slave – owners
- Avoidance of guilt
- Britain’s moral superiority – erasing gains secured for the metropole by enslavement and exploitation
- Distancing – geography, and time – dissociation
- Indenture labour – John Gladstone – Guyana
- New enterprises – railways, insurance, banking – shift from land to commerce and industry
- New alliance between landed aristocracy and sections of the middle class
- Government of consent at home and reliance on force and domination in the empire
- Shift in balance of empire – British West Indies & Jamaica to –
- India and the East
- New colonies of White settlement – Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa
- New remaking of Race
- Imperial Social Formation – metropolis and colony constitutive of each other
- British state seen to be characterized by consent – politically; and laissez faire economically
- Coercion, force, suppression, intervention. (Aborigines in Australia; coercion in Ireland; suppression of Indian rebellion in 1857; 1865 – Morant Bay rebellion and suppression by Governor Eyre) – shows coercion was not incidental but structural
- NO single Victorian state but a series of different politics across the Empire
