“Compelled To Row: Blacks On Royal Navy Galleys During The American Revolution”, Charles R. Foy
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
Work on Royal Navy galleys in North America during the American Revolution was physically demanding, lacked in sufficient shelter for their crews and rarely resulted in sailors obtaining prize monies. These conditions resulted in desertion rates five times greater than on other Royal Navy vessels and the frequent employment of older men. At the same time, Blacks served British galleys at twice the rate as on other Royal Navy vessels. This was due to the hiring out of slaves onto galleys by Loyalists, the impressment of free black seamen by galley commanders and fugitive slaves seeking freedom through service on …

Eighteenth Century ‘Prize Negroes’: From Britain To America, Charles R. Foy
Eighteenth Century ‘Prize Negroes’: From Britain To America, Charles R. Foy
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
Eighteenth-century Anglo-American prize systems were highly organized
enterprises for the provision of coerced labor. Offering whites opportunities to
participate in a lucrative market, they extended the reach of American slavery
beyond the shores of the Americas, reinforced slavery in North America and
greatly limited opportunities for freedom for black seamen. Although Americans
desired that their new nation provide greater individual liberty, the American prize
system applied the same presumption - that captured black mariners were slaves -
as had its British predecessor, resulting in the sale of hundreds of black seamen
into slavery.

Alcman's Parteneion And Eliade's Sacred Time, Lee E. Patterson
Alcman's Parteneion And Eliade's Sacred Time, Lee E. Patterson

Fragment I of the seventh-century Spartan poet Alcman, better known as the Louvre Partheneion, remains one of the most vexing specimens of Greek lyric. Scholars have debated with great vigor about the meaning of various elements in the poem: the Tyndaridae legend, H6poV (line 14), oV (line 61), the light imagery, the horse imagery, the Pleiades (line 60), the "Ten" and the "Eleven" (lines 98-99), and so on. Although definitive interpretations are elusive, I believe that one viable solution to the meaning of these elements and their function in the poem is at hand through a hitherto unexplored avenue of …
