Ships are usually seen as masculine spaces, and slave ships are no exception. But as the slave voyages database shows, about a fourth of the captives transported on board seventeenth and eighteenth-century Dutch slavers were in fact women. In this presentation, I explore the experiences of women on board these slavers, paying special attention to pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood in these spaces.

 

“Yo Fui su Partera”: Embarazo, parto y maternidad en barcos de esclavos del siglo XVII.

Por la Dra. Andrea Mosterman

28 de agosto a las 12PM

VIRTUAL VÍA ZOOM

Los barcos son usualmente vistos como espacios masculinos y los botes que transportaban esclavos no eran la excepción. Pero las bases de datos de esclavizadores holandeses de los siglos XVII y XVIII demuestran que un cuarto de todos los esclavos transportados eran mujeres. En esta presentación exploro las experiencias de estas mujeres a bordo de estas naves, prestando atención especial al embarazo, parto y maternidad en estos espacios.
