The likely family of my endowed chair (1948) are here. A ship named Liberty bought people as slaves in West Africa in the 1760s. On the second in 1763, 741 embarked, 605 disembarked. A third and final in 1804 took people from the Bight of Biafra and Gulf of Guinea Islands: britishslavetraders.org

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

My chapter with Chris Ebert is finally online! We view the asiento from Salvador da Bahia—the South Atlantic's main commercial hub. Brazil was the largest destination for enslaved Africans, yet it's usually absent from asiento scholarship. We ask: why was Brazil never supplied by foreign slavers?

According to Montoya, the name ‘Urutau’ means ‘night bird’ and also ‘hawk bird of prey.’ Cadogan records that the Urutau (Nyctibius griseus cornutus) is, in the mythical texts of the Tavyterã and Chiripa, the sister of the Sun and Moon Twins.
