Political economy of African forced migration and enslavement in colonial New York: an historical biology perspective
Abstract
In the development of American societies, capitalists' means of securing profit for those who own property are associated with particular social structures, policies, and behaviors that differentially affect the biology of economic classes, culturally constructed biological races, and genders as well as the production of ideologies that mask these relations. This chapter shows this through an examination of the historic effects of the enslavement of Africans in New York City. The political economy of the human biology of the New York African Burial Ground that follows was produced from the integration of skeletal information with that of archeologists, historians, geneticists, and others with expertise in regions of Africa, the Caribbean, and the Eastern United States from which the Burial Ground's culture and biology emerged. The economic desires and environmental constraints established by New York slaveholders produced the conditions for physiological disruption that substantially impacted population growth.

“The project had a major impact on popular (and scholarly) perceptions of where slavery existed, the embodied consequences of enslavement (Blakey & Rankin-Hill 2016, Mack & Blakey 2004), the roles that descendants and other publics can have in shaping research agendas (Blakey 2020), and the aspects of African American culture that have roots in West Africa (Perry et al. 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
