Update: Sweet on Portugal in the AHR

April 29, 2009

I didn’t realize this until I started reading it, but James H. Sweet’s article in the April 2009 American Historical Review is of interest to us. “Mistaken Identities? Olaudah Equiano, Domingos Álvares, and the Methodological Challenges of Studying the African Diaspora” examines the shifting self-identifications of Domingos Álvares, an African enslaved in Brazil and then exiled to rural Portugal by the Inquisition, to shed light on Equiano and the contextual, self-assertive identities of Africans in the Atlantic World in general.
