Os habéis topado alguna vez con el término “otermano” como grafía de “atamán” (cosaco)? No le encuentro ningún otro sentido en esta línea, pero quizá ojos más listos que los míos sí. También leo “Can” y pienso en “Khan”, en relación con el levantamiento de Pugachёv (1773–75). Gracias! #skystorians

Good to see the corrections and additions to this article, including the contribution of independent researcher Dawnanna Kreeger. Bit of a missed opportunity though to also elaborate on the original researcher, Cathey O'Neill.

King Henry of #Haiti might say "told u so". He advocated for #Afrodescendants to access the priesthood. While the Holy See ignored his pleas, he had clergy: of mixed descent from #LatAm, & European critical of the Church's silence on #slavery. #CreolePope

This year, the government had another subtle way of trying to silence Liberation Day. Despite the widespread obsession with the funeral of a foreign head of state, many took to the streets to honor freedom and democracy, and remember the Partigiani's fight. #25Aprile taz.de/Tag-der-Befr...

2 #postdocs for #skystorians of #earlymodern. 8 months each, @unitrier.bsky.social with @papaerc.bsky.social . Deadline: Apr. 1

#AfroCuban #Aponte (executed in 1812 for an #antislavery rebellion) used Catholic-inspired arguments: 1)in connection with Catholic abolitionism in #Cuba 2)drawing inspiration from Christian #Ethiopia & 3) contemporary #Haiti as examples of Black sovereignty. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

King Henry of #Haiti requested that the #HolySee recognize a 🇭🇹 Church & #BlackClergy. He challenged #slavery = spreading of faith. These (failed) negotiations:1)undermined #Eurocentric notions of #civilization; 2)bolstered claims to #African roots; 3)inspired #Afrodescendants tinyurl.com/yx2f5mrs

Oct.1796: enslaved Africans took over the #BocaNigua plantation ( #SantoDomingo). The revolt was crushed in48h. Jesús Ruiz links this episode to transcaribbean&transimperial #Afrocatholic #royalism =ideals & practices of enslaved resilience o in the #AgeOfRevolutions tinyurl.com/4y3a4f8x

Was French #abolitionism secular, unlike its well-known (and self-proclaimed unique) British counterpart? @papaerc.bsky.social (Damien Tricoire) & Jeremy Popkin (Un. of Kentucky) connect the French #Enlightenment to a longer history of Catholic-informed #Atlantic #antislavery 1/3

How were criticisms of #slavery by missionaries received by the multinodal Roman curia? At every passage through bureaucracy, these sporadic but profound denunciations were reduced to ineffective guidelines. They also reveal #BlackAgency in shaping, appropriating, & interpreting them 1/3

Fellowship Opportunity! Dartmouth College seeks a Mellon Teaching Fellowship in Religion whose research addresses questions in African American Religious Traditions. Degree may be from African American Studies, History, or other related disciplines. www.h-net.org/jobs/job_dis...
