Summary

Long before European exploration, vibrant trade networks flourished worldwide. Precolonial Trade sheds light on these largely unacknowledged indigenous economic systems. These systems involved complex trade routes and diverse goods, challenging Eurocentric views of global economic history. For instance, archaeological findings reveal sophisticated trade beads and pottery, while oral histories and early writings help trace the movement of goods and ideas across continents.

 
The book examines precolonial trade routes and economic systems in regions like the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. It highlights the diverse forms of currency, credit, and social organization that governed trade in different regions. By focusing on indigenous traders' perspectives, the book offers a unique perspective on global economic history.

 
Beginning with an introduction to the theoretical framework, the book progresses through regional case studies, each chapter examining unique trade routes and goods. The conclusion synthesizes findings, comparing different regions and highlighting the lasting legacy of precolonial trade on contemporary societies.

    The Mysteries and Their Emissaries

    Did that divine knowledge which constituted the supreme possession of the pagan priestcrafts survive the destruction of their temples? Is it yet accessible to mankind, or does it lie buried beneath the rubbish of ages, entombed within the very sanctuaries that were once illuminated by its splendor? "In Egypt," writes Origen, "the philosophers have a sublime and secret knowledge respecting the nature of God. What did Julian imply when he spoke of the secret initiations into the sacred Mysteries of the Seven-Rayed God who lifted souls to salvation through His own nature? Who were the blessed theurgists who understood them profundities concerning which Julian dared not speak? If this inner doctrine were always concealed from the masses, for whom a simpler code had been devised, is it not highly probable that the exponents of every aspect of modern civilization--philosophic, ethical, religious, and scientific-are ignorant of the true meaning of the very theories and tenets on which their beliefs are founded? Do the arts and sciences that the race has inherited from older nations conceal beneath their fair exterior a mystery so great that only the most illumined intellect can grasp its import? Such is undoubtedly the case.

    In Black Utopias Jayna Brown takes up the concept of utopia as a way of exploring alternative states of being, doing, and imagining in Black culture. Musical, literary, and mystic practices become utopian enclaves in which Black people engage in modes of creative worldmaking. Brown explores the lives and work of Black women mystics Sojourner Truth and Rebecca Cox Jackson, musicians Alice Coltrane and Sun Ra, and the work of speculative fiction writers Samuel Delany and Octavia Butler as they decenter and destabilize the human, radically refusing liberal humanist ideas of subjectivity and species. Brown demonstrates that engaging in utopian practices Black subjects imagine and manifest new genres of existence and forms of collectivity. For Brown, utopia consists of those moments in the here and now when those excluded from the category human jump into other onto-epistemological realms. Black people—untethered from the hope of rights, recognition, or redress—celebrate themselves as elements in a cosmic effluvium.
