DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores the experiences of Africans captured by 
 the Royal Navy aboard suspected slave vessels in the Indian Ocean in the 1
 9th century.  Liberated Africans were consigned to ships\, harbors\, and m
 issions and expected to learn the values of freedom and hard work through 
 contractual labor. They exposed a central tension of Victorian liberalism 
 and late abolitionism: a growing divergence between ideals of freedom and 
 equality.\n\nMatthew S. Hopper is Associate Professor of History at Cal Po
 ly\, San Luis Obispo\, and author of Slaves of One Master: Globalization a
 nd Slavery in Arabia in the Age of Empire (Yale University Press\, 2015).
