About the Project

A few words about the project:

The interdisciplinary research project BIMAAR studies transnational autobiographies by black authors in the Americas during the Age of Revolutions and its aftermath (1760-1860). It consists of four thematic sections, dedicated to four major types of black autobiography across the Americas. You will get to know more about the project as the research progresses. We will fill the individual section pages of this website with more information. Furthermore, we will add links to research and teaching resources.
