In the Archives of Slavery: Sephardic Households in Early Modern Barbados

Centering on Jewish households in early modern urban Bridgetown, we will explore the fragmentary nature and intricate trajectories of records to construct composite biographies of free and enslaved members of these households. Dr. Amalia S. Levi is a practicing archivist and social historian working at the intersection of dependency and slavery studies and archival studies. Originally from Greece, she has worked in Turkey, the US, and the Caribbean, conducting documentation, archival processing, and digitization projects.
