This project investigates how early modern Londoners lived in the wake of an emerging British empire founded on racialised systems of enslaved labour. It was between the conquest of Jamaica (1655) and the Hanoverian Succession (1714), that agents of empire developed and deployed ideas and practices of racialisation that rendered certain groups of people property. Scholars have yet to reckon with how these practices were deployed within Britain. Focused on London, the centre of government and imperial metropolis, this project uses parish records, visual culture, and trial testimony to chart this history, revealing how contemporary Britain was forged through race.

这个项目调查了早期现代伦敦人如何生活在一个新兴的大英帝国之后，这个帝国建立在奴隶劳动的种族化制度上。正是在征服牙买加（1655年）和汉诺威继承（1714年）之间，帝国的代理人发展和部署了种族化的思想和做法，使某些群体成为财产。学者们还没有考虑到这些做法是如何在英国部署的。该项目以政府和帝国大都会的中心伦敦为重点，利用教区记录、视觉文化和审判证词来描绘这段历史，揭示当代英国是如何通过种族锻造的。
