DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nAbstract\nThis presentation will explore the social histo
 ry of emancipated\nAfrican slaves in Ottoman Izmir\, a large port on the c
 oast of\nAnatolia\, at the turn of the last century. While methods of\nens
 lavement\, the routes on which they came to Izmir\, and the\nprocess of ab
 olition are coming to light\, the history of Africans\nbeyond emancipation
  in Izmir and throughout the Ottoman Empire is\nlargely unknown. Drawing o
 n both local and central government\narchival documents\, this paper will 
 focus on instances where\nemancipated Africans appear as criminals. Four c
 ases will be\npresented\, situating each in the social and economic contex
 t of\nlate Ottoman Izmir.\nThese documents will also shed light on the his
 toriographical\nand archival challenges of studying the social history of
 \nemancipated slaves in the Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey.\nSpecificall
 y\, the effect of marginality in representations of\nemancipated Africans 
 in the documents will be examined. The\npresenter will also problematize t
 he terms used to describe\nemancipated Africans and evaluate their importa
 nce to the study of\nthe social history of the late Ottoman Empire.\nAbout
  the Speaker\nMichael Ferguson is a PhD candidate in the Department of His
 tory\nand Classical Studies at Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾.\n
