| Summary: | The intertwinement of gender and religion in the struggle against slavery, both in Europe and in the colonies is central to this contribution. Was there a gendered action repertoire in the abolitionist movement that appealed to the protestant-Christian community? In the 19th century the deployment of ‘humanist narratives’ promoted the identification of women within the protestant churches with enslaved women as mothers and caregivers. However, the abolitionist representation and its Christian iconography of enslaved women, shows the simultaneous creation of hierarchy and distinction, alongside reciprocity and equality. The meaning of the church and religion in gendered forms of resistance or acceptance amongst enslaved people needs more attention. |
