This year, the conference seeks to bring different perspectives of analysis of all aspects of the institution of slavery in Mozambique from the earliest times to the present. We especially welcome proposals that engage in an interdisciplinary global history perspective on slavery and the trades in enslaved persons in Southeastern Africa, that utilize special research collections available at international institutions or in private family archives and explicitly engage issues of slavery, slave trade, resistance, abolition, and their legacies in Mozambique. The organizers of the conference also welcome examinations of the ways in which the institution of slavery is remembered, researched, taught and publicly presented. Scholars, graduate students, independent researchers, educators and local historians researching Mozambican, wider African and African diasporic histories are encouraged to apply. The conference will be held from October 27th to the 28th in the Fortaleza de Maputo, Mozambique.
The organizing committee welcomes individual papers, thematic panels, workshops and roundtables on any of the following themes :
