SUMMARY:Critics of the Oyo Empire and Atlantic Modernity in the Age of Revolution: Rethinking Black Atlantic Historiography with Archaeology and Òrìṣà Archives
DESCRIPTION:December 4th\, 2023 \n5:30 pm -7:00 pm \nSilver Center\,  Hemmerdinger Hall \nRegister here for in-person  \nAttend via Zoom here \nIn this talk\, Ogundiran will discuss the debates and dialogues that happened in the Oyo Empire (West Africa) in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries about rights and privileges\, marginalization and power\, and politics of difference between the metropolis and the provinces\, women and men\, and the state and society. These dialogues\, he argues\, were part of the discontentment with Early Modernity that gave birth to the Age of Revolution. However\, Africa has been mostly elided from the historiography of this revolutionary period because the modalities of Africa-centered dialogues about the early modern experience have been outside the reach of traditional historical methods. Ogundiran demonstrates the need to pay attention to the Yorùbá Òrìṣà archives and the archaeology of place in order to broaden the historiography of the Black Atlantic and the Age of Revolution. \n \nAkin Ogundiran is Cardiss Collins Professor of History and Arts & Sciences at Northwestern University and a Senior Fellow of Gardens and Landscape Studies at Dumbarton Oaks\, Washington DC. He is broadly interested in the archaeology and history of Africa over the past 2\,500 years\, with an emphasis on the Yorùbá world. His research has been supported by the National Geographic Society\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the National Humanities Center\, and the American Philosophical Society. He is the author/editor/co-editor of several books\, including The Yorùbá: A New History (2020)\, winner of the Vinson Sutlive Prize and Isaac Delano Prize. \nRegister here for in-person \nAttend via Zoom here\n  \nFor accommodations\, please contact the Administrative Aide for the Center for the Study of Africa and the African Diaspora at Muna.Diaf@nyu.edu by November 20th\, 2023.

SUMMARY:Africa~Diaspora Forum: Peter Hulme
DESCRIPTION:Drums over Harlem: Signifying Africa\, 1919-1932 \nIn the 1920s in New York the jazz cabaret was seen as offering what the writer Eric Walrond called “Africa undraped”\, and its sound was the tom-tom.  This talk will explore the period’s fascination with that instrument and with what it might signify\, focusing on two texts entitled Tom-Tom\, both of which offer to associate contemporary Harlem with “Africa”\, in one or another of its manifestations.\nPeter Hulme is Emeritus Professor at the University of Essex\, where he taught for 40 years.  His books include Colonial Encounters: Europe and the Native Caribbean\, 1492 1797 (1986)\, Cuba’s Wild East: A Literary Geography of Oriente (2011)\, and The Dinner at Gonfarone’s: Salomón de la Selva’s Pan-American Project in Nueva York\, 1915-1919 (2019).

SUMMARY:Book Talk: "The Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem" Jane Hathaway
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nEunuchs were a common feature of pre- and early modern societies that are now poorly understood. Here\, Jane Hathaway offers an in-depth study of the chief of the African eunuchs who guarded the harem of the Ottoman Empire. A wide range of primary sources are used to analyze the Chief Eunuch’s origins in East Africa and his political\, economic\, and religious role from the inception of his office in the late sixteenth century through the dismantling of the palace harem in the early twentieth century. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHathaway highlights the origins of the institution and how the role of eunuchs developed in East Africa as well as exploring the Chief Eunuchs connections to Egypt and Medina. By tracing the evolution of the office\, we see how the Chief Eunuch’s functions changed in response to transformations in Ottoman society\, from the generalized crisis of the seventeenth century to the westernizing reforms of the nineteenth century.\n\nJane Hathaway (Arts & Sciences Distinguished Professor of History\, Ohio State University) is a specialist of the Ottoman empire. Her research has focused on the empire’s Arab provinces\, particularly Egypt and Yemen. She has recently been working on the Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Imperial Harem. She received her Ph.D. from Princeton’s’ Near Eastern Studies Department in 1992. She is the author of The Politics of Household in Ottoman Egypt: The Rise of the Qazdaglis (Cambridge\, 1997)\, A Tale of Two Factions: Myth\, Memory\, and Identity in Ottoman Egypt and Yemen(SUNY Press\, 2003)\, Beshir Agha\, Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem (Oneworld\, 2006)\, The Arab Lands under Ottoman Rule\, 1516-1800 (Pearson/Longman\, 2008)\, and The Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem: From African Slave to Power-Broker (Cambridge\, 2018). \n\nThis book talk will also feature discussant Leslie Peirce (Emeritus\, NYU)\, whose writing and teaching focus on the Ottoman empire\, with an emphasis on the early modern period. Her first book explored the shifting nature of imperial politics by placing the palace harem at the center of inquiry. Other topics Peirce has written about include honor and sexuality\, provincial politics\, abduction and captivity\, and slavery and household formation. She recently published a biographical account of Hurrem\, the concubine and then wife to Suleyman I the Magnificent. \nCheck out the Facebook event here. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by Ottoman & Turkish Studies (OTS) at NYU.

SUMMARY:"Alufa Rufino\, A Man of Faith and Sorcery on the Periphery of Islam."
DESCRIPTION:João Reis\, Universidade Federal da Bahia\, Brazil\n\n\nBrazil\, and particularly Bahia\, was arguably the destination of most African Muslims deported from West Africa to the Americas on board slave ships during the first half of the nineteenth century. They were mainly Hausas\, Nupes\, and Yorubas who\, once in Brazil\, were involved in several slave revolts. This is a well-known story. What is less well-known is that parallel to this militant Islam\, there were other\, more accommodationist forms of Islam that also flourished among African slaves and freed people in Brazil. This lecture is about a man who represented  this form of Islam. A devout Muslim\, Abuncare (a.k.a\, Rufino José Maria) nonetheless dedicated himself to divination and other unorthodox practices that he learned in Africa and either reproduced in Brazil or adapted to Brazilian belief systems.
