Johnson's book "Encyclopédie noire: The Making of Moreau de Saint-Mery's Intellectual World" delves into the life and work of Moreau de Saint Marie, a white man who was a public official, lawyer, translator, publisher, and slave owner. Johnson uncovers the knowledge base of Moreau by highlighting the enslaved individuals who provided that knowledge, revealing the unspoken assumptions about slavery, empire, labor, and violence embedded in Moreau's writings. Through theoretical and methodological innovations, Johnson reconstructs the stories of those silenced in the archival and literary record, challenging normative interpretations and shedding light on the violence and erasure inherent in slavery and colonialism. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of World History is the property of University of Hawai'i and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
