项目摘要

Centred around enslaved Africans deserting South Carolina to reach Florida in the early eighteenth century, this project investigates the Africans' hitherto unexplored ability to shape Britain and Spain's international relations. On 7 November 1693, the Spanish Crown decreed that runaway enslaved people from the Carolinas arriving in the Floridian garrison of St. Augustine would be freed from slavery, encouraging enslaved Africans to desert their English masters. This history of Black trans-imperial desertions significantly influenced Britain and Spain's foreign policy and the outbreak of the War of Jenkins' Ear (1739-1742/48). Centring on the African runaways' intellectual histories, the project explores the political, religious and ideological motivations underpinning their decision to flee. It investigates how runaways' Kongolese and Angolan origins and Christian background, and Spain's ties with Kongo and Angola (incorporated into Spain between 1580 and 1640-68) led to enslaved Africans in Carolina having prior knowledge of Spain's asylum policy. Scrutinising the Africans' engagement with Spanish policy-makers, and their desertions' impact on the British cabinet's decisions, the project applies a Neoclassical Realist Theory of Foreign Policy Analysis to explore how enslaved Africans turned themselves into pivotal actors in British-Spanish relations.

这个项目围绕着被奴役的非洲人在十八世纪早期逃离南卡罗来纳州到达佛罗里达，调查了非洲人迄今未被探索的塑造英国和西班牙国际关系的能力。1693年11月7日，西班牙国王颁布法令，将从南卡罗来纳州逃到佛罗里达州圣奥古斯丁驻军的奴隶从奴隶制中解放出来，鼓励被奴役的非洲人抛弃他们的英国主人。这段黑人跨帝国叛逃的历史对英国和西班牙的外交政策以及詹金斯耳朵战争（1739-1742/48）的爆发产生了重大影响。该项目以非洲逃亡者的思想史为中心，探讨了支撑他们逃亡决定的政治、宗教和意识形态动机。它调查了逃亡者的刚果和安哥拉血统和基督教背景，以及西班牙与刚果和安哥拉（1580年至1640年至1668年并入西班牙）的关系如何导致卡罗莱纳的非洲奴隶事先了解西班牙的庇护政策。该项目仔细审查了非洲人与西班牙决策者的接触，以及他们的遗弃对英国内阁决策的影响，运用新古典主义现实主义外交政策分析理论，探讨被奴役的非洲人如何成为英国-西班牙关系中的关键角色。
