本文试图将安大略省的查塔姆定位为十九世纪中叶的加拿大边境城镇和废奴主义场所。查塔姆位于加拿大和美国之间的边界附近，当时被称为“加拿大西部”，今天是安大略省的一部分;1在十九世纪中叶，该镇发展迅速，但同时，仍然是一个典型的“边境定居点”。将查塔姆镇作为反奴隶制活动的一个地点，有助于了解北美非洲人后裔经历中一个相当被忽视的方面。在下文中，我将首先将我的论点置于当代跨国美国研究的学科背景中，并指出加拿大在美洲和“黑大西洋”研究的跨国转向背景下的作用（和边缘化）。我将通过将加拿大纳入十九世纪废奴主义作为一个跨国运动的研究中，来重新配置专门处理黑人废奴主义和黑人流动性的话语。本文的主要部分将集中在查塔姆镇及其19世纪废奴主义的历史，以展示废奴主义空间实践的特殊性，这是大西洋研究的特刊。正如我的分析所显示的，19世纪50年代查塔姆的黑人居民，其中包括非裔美国人玛丽安沙德、奥斯本安德森和马丁德拉尼，以及白色废奴主义者，如短期访问者约翰布朗和长期居民威廉金，发展了另一种黑人未来的愿景“走出查塔姆”，可以说，超越了奴隶制，超越了美国。我将简要地介绍每一个地区及其各自的议程，以便提出多个切入点，讨论查塔姆作为一个边境地区和废奴主义活动的话语场所。这些议程合在一起，形成了一个多方面和多角度的组合，其中包含了不同的、有时相互冲突的废奴主义理论和实践，对黑色未来有着截然不同的看法。我的结论提醒人们注意在跨国背景下研究反奴隶制思想的总体迫切性，同时也密切关注当地的实践和特殊性，例如查塔姆的情况。以一种典型的方式，查塔姆是一个废奴主义者的地方，在十九世纪中叶，黑人散居文化发展并与各种当地和跨国力量相互作用。
This essay seeks to situate Chatham, Ontario, as a mid nineteenth-century Canadianborder town and as a site of abolitionism. Chatham is located close to the borderbetween Canada and the United States in what was then referred to as ‘‘CanadaWest’’ and today is part of the province of Ontario;1 in the mid-nineteenth century,the town was growing quickly and yet, at the same time, still qualified as a typical‘‘frontier settlement.’’ Focusing on the town of Chatham as a site of anti-slaveryactivism sheds light on a rather neglected aspect of the experiences of people ofAfrican descent in North America. In what follows, I will first contextualize myargument in the disciplinary context of contemporary transnational Americanstudies and point to the role (and the marginalization) of Canada in the context of the transnational turn in the study of the Americas and the ‘‘Black Atlantic.’’ I willargue for a reconfiguration of discourses that deal specifically with black abolition-ism and black mobility by including Canada in the study of nineteenth-centuryabolitionism as a transnational movement. The main part of my essay will focus onthe town of Chatham and its nineteenth-century abolitionist history in order todemonstrate the particularities of abolitionist spatial practice that this special issueof Atlantic Studies is devoted to. As my analysis shows, the black residents ofChatham in the 1850s among them the African Americans Mary Ann Shadd, Osborne Anderson, and Martin Delany, as well as white abolitionists such as short-time visitor John Brown and long-time resident William King developed alternative visions of a black future ‘‘out of Chatham,’’ so to speak, beyond slavery and beyondthe United States. I will briefly turn to each of them and their respective agendas inorder to present multiple points of entry into a discussion of Chatham as a borderand frontier region and as a discursive site of abolitionist activity. Taken together,these agendas form a multifaceted and multivocal composition of diverging and, attimes, conflicting abolitionist theories and practices with radically different visions of a black future. My conclusion draws attention to the overall desideratum of studyinganti-slavery thought in a transnational context while also paying close attention tolocal practices and particularities, such as those discernible in the case of Chatham.In an exemplary fashion, Chatham is an abolitionist place, where in the mid-nineteenth century a black diasporic culture develops and interacts with various localand transnational forces.
