Program: “Human Trafficking in Early America”

"Views of Slavery," Library Company of Philadelphia (1836)
The McNeil Center for Early American Studies at the University of Pennsylvania will host a conference on “Human Trafficking in Early America” on April 23-25, 2015. From the conference website:
In early America, human trafficking took many forms, engaging and displacing native, African and European populations in every decade and in every colony and state. Drawing upon a wave of new scholarship on Indian captivity, the middle passage, the domestic slave trade, child abduction and sex trafficking, this conference offers a timely opportunity to examine the cultures and shadow economies created by and elaborated around forced migration in North America and the Atlantic world before 1865.
 The program has now been posted; it includes a keynote address by Edward Baptist, entitled “Trafficking in People, Real or Derivative: The Second Slavery and Anglo-American Development.”

“Human Trafficking in Early America” is an interdisciplinary conference hosted by the University of Pennsylvania, and cosponsored by the McNeil Center for Early American Studies, the Library Company of Philadelphia, the Department of History at the University of Maryland, College Park, and the Caspersen School of Graduate Studies, Drew University.

The Exchange is changing platforms! Please read to continue receiving our messages [working links]

  Dear subscribers to The Exchange: I am happy to announce that our blog is moving platforms. For almost a decade, the Business History Conference has used Blogger to publish and archive posts. However, in early 2021, the blogging site announced that their email serving service would be terminated. In addition, we noticed that many of our subscribers had stopped receiving the blog’s emails, and our subscription provides very limited reporting. In agreement, the Electronic Media Oversight Committee , web administrator Shane Hamilton, and web editor Paula de la Cruz-Fernández decided to move our web blog from Blogger to our website . We now write to you to request that if you wish to continue receiving announcements from the BHC, please subscribe here: https://thebhc.org/subscribe-exchange   Interested people will be asked to log into their BHC’s account or open one, free.
