Negotiating Abolition: The Antislavery Project in the British
Straits Settlements, 1786-1843 explores how sex and gender
complicated the enforcement of colonial anti-slavery policies in
the region, the challenges local officials faced in identifying
slave populations, and how European reclassification of slave labor
to systems of indenture or 'free' labor created a new illicit trade
for women and girls to the Straits Settlements of Southeast Asia.
Through a history of early-19th century slavery and abolition in
this often overlooked region in British imperial history, Herzog
bridges a historiographical gap between colonial and modern slave
systems. She discusses the dynamic intersectionality between
perceptions of race, class, gender, and civilization within the
Straits and how this informed behavior and policy regarding
slavery, abolition, and prostitution within the settlement. This
book provides an important new perspective for scholars of slavery
interested in Southeast Asia, British imperialism in the Indian
Ocean world and Asia, the East India Company in the Straits, and
gender and sexuality in the context of empire.
