Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation challenges the conventional narrative of Danish colonial history by critiquing the predominant reliance on textual records and archives as primary carriers of historical knowledge. Through case studies focused on landscape and landscaping practices, it offers an alternative approach to understanding the past by actively engaging with material heritage in what is conceptualized as a vibrant archive. Utilizing interdisciplinary and practice-led methodologies, from cultural and memory studies to ecocriticism, the research examines and engages with colonial history through case studies in dialog with contemporary interlocutors. Emphasizing the dynamic nature of landscapes as vibrant archives-in-the-making, building on Jane Bennett’s concept of vibrant matter, the dissertation underscores their capacity to both shape and be shaped by diverse actors and forces. This perspective prioritizes ethical considerations in preserving and interpreting cultural heritage, aiming to foster inclusivity and resilience in shaping future landscapes. As landscapes embody multiple pasts that transcend national borders, they reveal a global network of interconnected material heritage. However, prevailing historical understandings often prioritize certain discursive national formations, limiting a comprehensive grasp of global connectivity. By exploring contemporary investments in constructing new relational pasts, the dissertation seeks to broaden the analytical scope and challenge such dominant narratives. Through an exploration of colonial trauma and the enduring impacts of historical violence, the research delves into the entangled relationships between past, present, and future. Additionally, the dissertation investigates the role of sound recordings in creating immersive narratives and enhancing the communication of findings, offering insights into preservation efforts, cultural revitalization projects, and community-led initiatives in a contemporary context. Throughout the research, there is a consistent advocacy for a more just and inclusive approach to caring for the colonial archive within the context of colonial exploitation and ecological crisis. This emphasis on interconnectedness across social, environmental, and cultural dynamics highlights the urgent need to reckon with colonial legacies to promote social and environmental justice. Denna avhandling utmanar den konventionella berättelsen om dansk kolonialhistoria genom att kritisera den rådande särställning som skrivna dokument och arkiv har i förmedlingen av historisk kunskap. Via fallstudier som fokuserar på landskap och landskapspraktiker erbjuder den ett alternativt tillvägagångssätt för att förstå det förflutna genom att aktivt engagera sig med materiellt arv i det som konceptualiseras som ett vibrerande arkiv. Med hjälp av tvärvetenskapliga och praxisbaserade metoder, från kultur- och minnesstudier till ekokritik, undersöks kolonialhistorien i fallstudier i dialog med samtida samtalspartner. Genom att betona landskapens dynamiska natur som vibrerande arkiv under uppbyggnad, med utgångspunkt i Jane Bennetts begrepp vibrerande materia, framhåller avhandlingen deras förmåga att både forma och formas av olika aktörer och krafter. Detta perspektiv lyfter fram etiska överväganden i bevarandet och tolkningen av kulturellt arv, med målet att främja inkludering och resiliens i utformningen av framtida landskap. Eftersom landskap förkroppsligar flera skepnader av det förflutna som överskrider nationsgränser, vittnar de om ett globalt nätverk av sammanlänkat materiellt arv. Emellertid betonar rådande historiska förståelser ofta vissa diskursiva nationella formationer, vilket begränsar en heltäckande förståelse av en global sammanlänkning. Genom att utforska samtida ansatser att konstruera det förflutna som multipelt och relationellt, strävar avhandlingen efter att bredda den analytiska ramen och utmana sådana dominerande berättelser. Koloniala trauman och de bestående effekterna av historiskt våld utforskas, vilket leder till en fördjupad förståelse av de sammanflätade relationerna mellan förflutet, nutid och framtid. Dessutom undersöker avhandlingen ljudinspelningars roll i att skapa immersiva berättelser och förbättra kommunikationen av forskningsresultat, och erbjuder insikter i bevarandeinsatser, kulturella revitaliseringsprojekt och samhällsledda initiativ i en samtida kontext. Genomgående förespråkas i avhandlingen ett mer rättvist och inkluderande tillvägagångssätt när det gäller omsorgen om det koloniala arkivet inom ramen för kolonial exploatering och ekologisk kris. Denna betoning på sammanlänkning av sociala, miljömässiga och kulturella dynamiker framhäver det akuta behovet av att hantera det koloniala arvet för att främja social och miljömässig rättvisa.

Book Synopsis Capitalism and Slavery by : Eric Williams
Download or read book Capitalism and Slavery written by Eric Williams and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slavery helped finance the Industrial Revolution in England. Plantation owners, shipbuilders, and merchants connected with the slave trade accumulated vast fortunes that established banks and heavy industry in Europe and expanded the reach of capitalism worldwide. Eric Williams advanced these powerful ideas in Capitalism and Slavery, published in 1944. Years ahead of its time, his profound critique became the foundation for studies of imperialism and economic development. Binding an economic view of history with strong moral argument, Williams's study of the role of slavery in financing the Industrial Revolution refuted traditional ideas of economic and moral progress and firmly established the centrality of the African slave trade in European economic development. He also showed that mature industrial capitalism in turn helped destroy the slave system. Establishing the exploitation of commercial capitalism and its link to racial attitudes, Williams employed a historicist vision that set the tone for future studies. In a new introduction, Colin Palmer assesses the lasting impact of Williams's groundbreaking work and analyzes the heated scholarly debates it generated when it first appeared.
