This conference gathers faculty and graduate students connected with the project “Routes of Enslavement in the Americas,” a research collaboration led by Alex Borucki, UCI Professor of History; Gregory O'Malley, UCSC Professor of History; and Sabrina Smith, UCM Assistant Professor of History. The project focuses on three main research areas: 1) inter-regional movements of African and African-descended captives within colonial Mexico (including California and other parts of what is now the United States and Central America), 2) exploration of the Black Pacific Worlds through tracking coastal trafficking routes connecting ports in California, Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Chile, and 3) additional research on Caribbean migrations (both coerced and voluntary) of African-descended populations, between islands and with the mainland Americas.
Program: TBA.
