Indigenous Enslavement and Incarceration in North American History
Gilder Lehrman Center's 15th Annual International Conference
November 15-16, 2013
Luce Hall Auditorium, 34 Hillhouse Avenue
Yale University
New Haven, Connecticut
Studies of indigenous slavery have multiplied in the past decade, changing not only the ways we think about slavery, but also race, citizenship, and nation. This conference intends to bring together some of this exciting new work and to trace its effects on and within Native American communities. It does so self-consciously in its expressed focus on slavery and incarceration. Such an emphasis, we hope, connects new slavery scholarship done in early American history with contemporary investigations into incarceration and prison studies.
The conference is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Register at: http://gilderlehrmancenter.wufoo.com/forms/indigenous-enslavement-and-incarceration/
