DESCRIPTION:What happens when the end of the slave trade doesn't lead to f
 reedom\, but to a new form of bondage?\nIn our next lecture with Jake Subr
 yan Richards\, he will explore the findings of The Bonds of Freedom: Liber
 ated Africans and the End of the Slave Trade (Yale University Press\, 2025
 ). Based on a decade of research across four continents\, this study uncov
 ers the "forgotten" history of individuals intercepted by maritime patrols
  and “liberated”\, only to be coerced into years of forced labor to "r
 epay" the costs of their own rescue.\n\nBy examining archival records from
  Sierra Leone to Brazil and the United States\, he analyzes the tension be
 tween imperial authoritarianism and the lived experiences of the African d
 iaspora. A challenge to our understanding of emancipation that will examin
 e how empires redefined "freedom" to suit their own economic and political
  needs.
