A research talk by Draper Dissertation Fellow Yusuf Mansoor on "From New England to Tangier: Indigenous slavery and the English Atlantic at the beginning of King Philip's War," with a response by Heather Ostman. This talk focuses on a group of Native Americans who were enslaved and sent to English Tangier in the 1670s. It will contextualize this enslavement by detailing the beginning of King Philip's War to examine more closely who these captives were, where they came from, and how they came to be enslaved by English colonists. From there, the presentation will track their passage from New England to Tangier, as well as the transatlantic imperial connections that fueled this unusual path.Yusuf Mansoor is a PhD candidate in the History Department, and the Draper Dissertation Fellow at the UCHI. His research focuses on Native Americans and the Atlantic World in the seventeenth century, with a focus on New England. He has received research fellowships from the Massachusetts Historical Society, the John Carter Brown Library, the Omohundro Institute for Early American History and Culture, the American Philosophical Society, and the Folger Shakespeare Library.Heather Ostman Heather Ostman is Professor of English, Director of the Humanities Institute, and Humanities Curriculum Chair at SUNY Westchester Community College in Valhalla, New York.
