项目摘要

The conventional image of the English country house is one of luxury and splendour and forms part of a wider rural idyll central to ideas of British identity and rural community. This project aims to unpack such conventions by reviewing evidence from a range of sources and disciplines of the historical impacts of slavery and colonialism on the British countryside, including evidence on black lives and their integration into rural society. It also seeks to examine the social dynamics surrounding the production and reception of such histories and to develop further opportunities for engagement with them. Collective notions of identity, expressed as community, are important frames for both rural and black groups. However, as appeals to community can be used to separate as well as connect people this project aims to understand how the term is used in historical and contemporary contexts and the material effects of its deployment. Knowledge of these historical presences, connections and legacies in rural Britain is patchy, and sites in the eastern part of the country have been especially neglected.There are three main elements to the project. Firstly a review of academic, agency and third sector literature on: a) histories both of black and ethnic minority presences and of slavery and colonialism in rural Britain, c.1600-1939; and b) recent public heritage initiatives. Secondly archival scoping to create a summary database of collections relating to black and ethnic minority presence and the histories of slavery and colonialism in the rural East Midlands and East Anglia, c.1600-1939, identifying any related public heritage work in these regions today. Thirdly a series of four workshops to bring together academics, heritage and museum professionals, local authority heritage/outreach officials, 'community' group representatives and wider publics to exchange information and reflect on the issues surrounding the public representation of such histories. This would involve the challenges of repositioning conventionally powerful groups, including those whose histories offer contrasting philanthropic and enslavement narratives, as well as the presentation of subaltern stories in ways which can be integrated into heritage sites in a practical way. An advisory group comprised of academic, agency and third sector representatives will provide expert advice throughout the duration of the project. These activities will enable more reflective and contextualised collaborative relationships between academics, heritage organisations and diverse publics over histories and legacies of slavery and colonialism in rural Britain.

英国乡村别墅的传统形象是奢华和辉煌的，是英国身份和乡村社区思想中心的更广泛的乡村田园牧歌的一部分。该项目旨在通过回顾奴隶制和殖民主义对英国农村的历史影响的各种来源和学科的证据，包括关于黑人生活及其融入农村社会的证据，来解开这些惯例。它还试图研究围绕这些历史的生产和接收的社会动态，并进一步发展与他们接触的机会。以社区的形式表达的集体身份观念，是农村和黑人群体的重要框架。然而，由于对社区的呼吁可以用来分离和连接人们，该项目旨在了解该术语如何在历史和当代背景下使用，以及其部署的物质影响。英国农村地区对这些历史存在、联系和遗产的了解并不完整，尤其是该国东部地区的遗址尤其被忽视。这个项目有三个主要元素。首先，对学术、机构和第三部门文献的回顾：a) 1600-1939年英国农村黑人和少数民族存在以及奴隶制和殖民主义的历史；b)最近的公共遗产倡议。其次，档案范围建立一个汇总数据库，收集有关1600年至1939年间东米德兰和东安格利亚农村地区黑人和少数民族的存在以及奴隶制和殖民主义的历史，并确定今天这些地区的任何相关公共遗产工作。第三，一系列的四个研讨会将汇集学者、遗产和博物馆专业人士、地方当局遗产/外展官员、“社区”团体代表和更广泛的公众，交流信息并反思有关这些历史的公众代表性问题。这将涉及到重新定位传统上强大的群体的挑战，包括那些历史上提供了对比慈善和奴役叙事的群体，以及以一种实用的方式融入遗产遗址的次等故事的呈现。一个由学术、机构和第三部门代表组成的咨询小组将在整个项目期间提供专家咨询意见。这些活动将使学术界、遗产组织和不同的公众在英国农村奴隶制和殖民主义的历史和遗产方面建立更多反思和情境化的合作关系。
