Abstract:

The autobiography of Olaudah Equiano (1745–1797) offers an unusual portrait of the dynamic relationship between scripture and colonialism. In 1789 Equiano, who also went by the name Gustavus Vassa, related his experience of slavery to support abolitionism in Britain in the form of a best-selling, two-volume autobiography titled The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African, Written by Himself. Equiano's autobiography comprises a striking description of religion and culture among the Igbo of West Africa, the nation with which he identified by birth. According to Equiano, the Igbo were descended from ancient Jews, and their religion was a modern survival of ancient biblical religion. This claim, seemingly casual at first, is actually a complicated maneuver that reveals how deeply he had mined a trove of biblical commentary to shape his interesting narrative for a skeptical readership. The early modern genre of biblical commentary, which was deeply influenced by the exigencies of European colonialism, constitutes in its own right an authoritative literature that proved quite useful for Equiano.

Abstract:

Abstract This article is dedicated to a topic that has been largely neglected in the historiography of philosophy to date: the position of philosophers towards the institution of slavery. Especially in survey works on the history of philosophy, positions on slavery and colonial conquest are not addressed, but have so far only been discussed in a few individual studies. From the beginning of European expansion, however, philosophical and political theories no longer emerged independently of these developments, as the expansion forced reflection on how to deal with the conquered regions and peoples, and thus on the problematic sides of the ‘voyages of discovery’: land grabbing, subjugation and slavery. Such entanglements are briefly explained using John Locke as an example. In view of the “colonial ensnarement of the Enlightenment” (Elberfeld) and the need for a critical examination of it, I propose as a methodological approach to include texts by thinkers of African origin, who had first-hand experiences of the institution of slavery and critically reflected on their own social position, the social and political conditions of their time as well as moral questions. Using three selected Black thinkers, the poet Phillis Wheatley (1753–1784), the abolitionist Olaudah Equiano (1745–1797) and the theologian Jacobus Elisa Johannes Capitein (ca. 1717–1747), I discuss the relevance of texts by former slaves for the historiography of philosophy.

Abstract:

As a gift for his baptism in london, in february 1759, olaudah equiano records that he received a copy of Bishop Thomas Wilson's Essay towards an Instruction for the Indians (1740 [78]). The book's preface proclaimed the tract suitable for both “the Indians … a tractable People” and “[t]he very Hottentots, who are supposed to be the dullest of Mankind” (v, ix). At this point in his life story, Equiano has moved beyond the now famous “talking book” trope that marks the earlier sections of his autobiography to engage an emergent body of printed materials that were intended to speak to an interethnic cohort of potential Christian converts throughout the British Atlantic world.

Abstract:

O texto busca debater conceitos fundamentais no que diz a respeito do tema História da África “pré-colonial”, sobretudo, o debate em torno do conceito de escravidão e suas possíveis transformações diante das influências externas e conexões com outras culturas, tais como o islamismo árabe e o cristianismo europeu. Esse texto foi desenvolvido a partir da fonte histórica autobiográfica de Olaudah Equiano e por meio da metodologia de Adalberto Marson (1984). O objetivo concentra-se no avanço do debate conceitual por meio da historiografia africanista e justifica-se pela importância do avanço das pesquisas referente ao recorte regional de Igbo, uma vez que foi uma das regiões que mais exportou escravos para o continente americano, tendo como grande contribuição para a formação da identidade cultural americana.

Abstract:

Equiano Olaudah (1745?-1797), esclave affranchi, est certainement l'un des auteurs africains à avoir suscité le plus grand intérêt de ses contemporains au XVIIIe siècle, grâce à son autobiographie, The intersesting narrative of Olaudah Equinao or Gustavus Vassa, the African. Written by himself (1789), qui offre le récit de son voyage où son expérience humaine trouve son expression générale dans les repères historiques qu'il fournit à travers un texte littéraire qui englobe plusieurs valeurs interdisciplinaires et s'adresse à la fois à l'anthropologue, l'historien, l'économiste et le littéraire. Edité dans plusieurs pays et traduit en une dizaine de langues depuis 1789, The interesting narrative a ouvert la voie à un genre nouveau, le récit d'esclave, qui connaîtra son apogée au XIXe siècle en Amérique. De plus, ce récit a inspiré plusieurs auteurs d'Afrique noire anglophone du XXe siècle. .
Equiano Olaudah (1745 ?-1797), a freed slave, is certainly one of the African authors to have aroused the interest of his XVIIIth century contemporaries, due to his autobiography The interesting narrative of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa, the African. Written by himself (1789) which recounts his travels where his personal experience is expressed in relation to historic references and is contained in a literary text that addresses several interdisciplinary topics of interest to the anthropologist, the historian, the economist and the writer. Published in many countries and translated into approximately ten languages since its original publication, The interesting narrative opened the way for a new literary genre, the slave narrative, which reached its peak in XIXth century America. In addition, the text has inspired many English-speaking African authors of the XXth century. .

Abstract:

The dissertation argues that the development of the British abolition movement was based on the abolitionists' perception that their actions were kairotic; they attempted to shape their own kairos by taking temporal events and reinterpreting them to construct a kairotic process that led to a perceived fulfillment: abolition. Thus, the dissertation examines the rhetorical strategies used by white abolitionists to construct an abolitionist kairos that was designed to produce salvation for white Britons more than it was to help free blacks. The dissertation especially examines the three major texts produced by black persons living in England during the late eighteenth centuryIgnatius Sancho's Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho (1782), Ottobauh Cugoano's Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil of Slavery (1787), and Olaudah Equiano's The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African (1789)to illustrate how black rhetoric was appropriated by whites to fulfill their own kairotic desires. By examining the rhetorical strategies employed in both white and black rhetorics, the dissertation illustrates how the abolitionists thought the movement was shaped by, and how they were shaping the movement through, kairotic time. While the dissertation contends that the abolition movement was rhetorically designed to provide redemption, and thus salvation, it illustrates that the abolitionist's intent was not merely to save the slave, but to redeem blacks first in the eyes of white Christians by opening blacks to an understanding and acceptance of God. Perhaps more importantly, abolitionists would use black salvation to buy back their own souls and the soul of their nation in the eyes of God in order to regain their own salvation lost in the slave trade. But ironically, they had to appear to be saving others to save themselves. So white abolitionists used the black narratives to persuade their overwhelmingly white audience that slavery was as bad for them as it was for the African slave. And in the process, a corpus of black writing was produced that gives current readers two glimpses of one world.

Abstract:

This anti-slavery document illustrates the means by which an enslaved Black African in early America employed technologies of literacy to speak out against slavery. The document anticipates the spiritual rationality of later Black African writers like Phillis Wheatley Peters and Olaudah Equiano.
