@carrideen since I know this has kept you tossing and turning at night since ASECS, Cugoano's title was shortened from "Evil and Wicked Traffic of the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species" to "Evil of Slavery" with the 1791 abridgment.

Please help spread the word on this project! In 1666, Anne Bradstreet’s home burned down, inspiring one of her most well-known poems. My colleague Christy Pottroff and archaeologist Donald Slater located and excavated the house’s foundation. Their sensitivity to how Bradstreet’s life and work are enmeshed in colonial networks is visionary. They will share their findings at the Colonial Society of Massachusetts 3/7, 6pm EST. The event will be livestreamed and recorded: https://www.colonialsociety.org/events

It's the official #pubday of African Impressions today. Please spread the word and consider ordering for your library! It takes a concentrated look at how African worlds and worldviews shaped British thought from 1620-1790, but it covers the Catalan Atlas to King Solomon's Mines (with stops at Ariosto, Shakespeare, and Milton along the way). It also makes a broader argument about Enlightenment knowledge production, so there's something here for anyone!

#introduction - My interests include seventeenth- and eighteenth-century British and transatlantic literature and culture.

African Impressions, a book about how African worlds and worldviews shaped the British geographical imagination across the early Enlightenment, is forthcoming from UVAP in January: https://www.upress.virginia.edu/title/5704

I'm currently researching African contributions to eighteenth-century scientific and theological debates about the nature of spirit and matter.
