SUMMARY:Lecture: Mariana Candido (Emory University) - Wealth\, Land\, and Property in Angola: A history of dispossession\, slavery\, and inequality
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the multifaceted history of dispossession\, consumption\,and inequality in West Central Africa\, Mariana Candido presents a revisionist history of Angola from the sixteenth century until the Berlin Conference of 1884–85. She demonstrates how ideas about dominion and land rights informed the appropriation and enslavement of free people and their labor. By centering the experiences of West Central Africans\, and especially African women\, this book challenges dominant historical narratives and shows that securing property was a gendered process. Drawing attention to how archives obscure African forms of knowledge and normalize conquest\, Candido interrogates simplistic interpretations of ownership and pushes for the decolonization of African history. \n  \nMariana P. Candido is the Winship Distinguished Research Professor of History at Emory University and the Nina Maria Gorrissen Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin\, Fall 2023. Prof. Candido is a specialist in West Central African history during the era of the transatlantic slave trade. She has also authored An African Slaving Port and the Atlantic World: Benguela and its Hinterland (Cambridge University Press\, 2013) and is co-editor of the journal African Economic History. \n  \nPart of the Lectures series in African and Global History 2023-2024.
