Anglophone Caribbean (auto)biography, plantation slavery, and the traffic of colonial reform and modernisation 1807-1834

该项目的初步工作已经得到了国际上的广泛认可，将大大提高澳大利亚在后殖民研究、19世纪研究和女权主义历史方面的国际地位。它将巩固澳大利亚在奴隶制及其废除的文化史方面的良好学术声誉，并在该领域辩论重新活跃的时候。在英语学科范围内，该项目将挑战学者们对现存档案资源的性质和范围以及在解释它们时进行密切历史研究的必要性进行更具创造性和进取性的思考。

The project, the preliminary work for which has already received major international recognition, will significantly enhance the international profile of Australian scholarship in postcolonial studies, nineteenth-century studies, and the history of feminism. It will consolidate Australia's considerable reputation for fine scholarship on the cultural history of slavery and its abolition, and at a time of reinvigorated debate in the field. Within the discipline of English the project will challenge scholars to think more creatively and enterprisingly about the nature and scope of extant archival sources and the necessity of close historical research in interpreting them.
