A Conversation with Dr. Christopher Baldwin and Dr. Shauna Sweeney

Virtual Event | Free

This dialogue between Library Company Program in Early American Economy and Society Fellow Christopher Baldwin and Professor Shauna Sweeney will explore the distinct yet overlapping spheres of the two scholars’ research concerning plantation and slave trade economies in the Caribbean. From the trafficking of Black captives by privateers at sea to the rebellious underground economies created by enslaved Black people on land, the two scholars will create a clear picture of how enslavement and resistance defined the economic realities of the Caribbean during the eighteenth century and beyond.
