Gens de #Paris: une amie cherche une chambre en #colocation ou un micro-appartement. Idéalement pas loin de la Sorbonne — pourquoi ne pas rêver ? — mais il suffit que ce soit bien connecté.
Merci de me contacter si vous avez des pistes!

A toast to you and your project — virtually, with this glass!
Looking forward to plotting things together, and enjoying polenta with a Caribbean twist.

Interested in developing a postdoc project in #EarlyModern global religious #history & applying for a #MSCA?

A colleague at the Uni of Teramo (🇮🇹) is looking for candidates & offers supervision + support with the application process.

Feel free to get in touch

#Boyer also urged the popes to condemn #slavery in Africa, the "birthplace of Jesus."
It took many years—& many white smokes—including the one that elected #LeoXIII. 🇮🇹 media will hopefully soon acknowledge the new Pope’s complex roots, rather than pinning them to this or that 🇮🇹 region.

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.

Tag der Befreiung in Italien: Bella ciao! Mit Staatstrauer wollte die rechte Regierungschefin Meloni Feiern zum Tag der Befreiung unterdrücken. Doch die Antifaschisten triumphierten.

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.

Visions of an Ancient Ethiopian Church and the Africanization of Catholic History in José Antonio Aponte’s Afro-Cuban Codex In 1812, the trial of the insurgents involved in an antislavery rebellion in Cuba centred on a book of images found in the home of its author and alleged leader, José Antonio Aponte. As a unique an...

#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.

‘New to Freedom but by no Means New to Faith’: Visions of an Abolitionist Black Catholic Church in Early Haiti (1808-1825) This article reconstructs King Henry I and President Jean-Pierre Boyer’s appeals to the Holy See during Haiti’s early independence (1808-1825) to establish the significance of a Catholic national i...

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

Freedom, Faith & Sovereignty: The 1796 Boca Nigua Revolt as an Afro-Catholic Royalist Rebellion Using a microhistorical approach to offer a novel interpretation, this article situates the 1796 Boca Nigua Revolt in Spanish Santo Domingo as an Afro-Catholic anti-slavery and freedom movement. Bu...

Religion and Antislavery in Revolutionary France and Saint-Domingue The movement for the abolition of slavery during the French Revolution has usually been seen as inspired more by secular arguments about natural rights than by religious concerns. Although explicit...

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
