Archival power operates to silence sources in which enslaved women are
found. Available colonial sources are fragmented and mired in a language
which sexualized enslaved women's bodies, appraised their economic
viability, and when criminalized, confined their memories into the
"wretched and untamable." In this talk archival power is illuminated as it
maneuvers through narratives of the most visible of particular slave
societies, and the most invisible. From a brothel owner in Bridgetown,
Barbados to women in flight in Charleston, South Carolina, this talk
discusses the silences in the records and the ways in which some historians
of female slavery have overlooked how the nature of the archive prevents us
from articulating the many facets of enslaved women's lives.
