Professor Katharine Gerbner discusses her book Christian Slavery: Conversion and Race in the Protestant Atlantic World shows how debates between slave-owners, black Christians, and missionaries transformed the practice of Protestantism and the language of race. The early role of Protestant Supremacy is challenged as debates about who can be and what it means to be baptized in the Christian Faith work themselves out in the Early Americas. The surprising role of the Quaker Community in Barbados is unpacked.
Katharine Gerbner is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Minnesota. She teaches courses on Atlantic History, History of Religions, Magic & Medicine, and The Early Modern Archive.
