Alexandra Robinson examines the letter of Jude in the light of
repeated scholarly references to this source as an invective, a
polemic, and an attack speech, with a dependence on both Jewish and
Greco-Roman sources. Moving beyond the 'Hellenism/Judaism divide',
Robinson specifies what these elements are, and how they relate to
the harsh nature of the discourse. This study shows how, where, and
why Jude borrows from these contemporary genres, with a detailed
survey of Greco-Roman invectives and Jewish judgement oracles;
comparing and contrasting them to the epistle of Jude with
consideration of structure, aims, themes, and style. Robinson
argues that Jude has constructed a 'Jewish invective,' and that his
epistle is a polemical text which takes the form (structure, aims,
and style) of a typical Greco-Roman invective but is filled with
Jewish content (themes and allusions), drawing on Israel's heritage
for the benefit of his primarily Jewish- Christian audience.
Contributors from the US, Britain and Europe explore a neglected
aspect of transatlantic slavery: the implication of a continental
European hinterland. Slavery Hinterland explores a neglected aspect
of transatlantic slavery: the implication of a continental European
hinterland. It focuses on historical actors in territories that
were not directly involved in the traffic inAfricans but linked in
various ways with the transatlantic slave business, the plantation
economies that it fed and the consequences of its abolition. The
volume unearths material entanglements of the Continental and
Atlantic economies and also proposes a new agenda for the
historical study of the relationship between business and morality.
Contributors from the US, Britain and continental Europe examine
the ways in which the slave economy touched on individual lives and
economic developments in German-speaking Europe, Switzerland,
Denmark and Italy. They reveal how these 'hinterlands' served as
suppliers of investment, labour and trade goods for the slave trade
and of materials for the plantation economies, and how involvement
in trade networks contributed in turn to key economic developments
in the 'hinterlands'. The chapters range in time from the first,
short-lived attempt at establishing a German slave-trading
operation in the 1680s to the involvement of textile manufacturers
in transatlantic trade in the first quarter of the nineteenth
century. A key theme of the volume is the question of conscience,
or awareness of being morally implicated in an immoral enterprise.
Evidence for subjective understandings of the moral challenge of
slavery is found in individual actions and statements and also in
post-abolition colonisation and missionary projects. FELIX BRAHM is
Research Fellow at the German Historical Institute in London. EVE
ROSENHAFT is Professor of German Historical Studies, University of
Liverpool. CONTRIBUTORS: Felix Brahm, Peter Haenger, Catherine
