Abstract

A team of historians, linguists, and curators examines the term adga tome, used by one African woman named Damma in a 1739 petition to the queen of Denmark. The term’s many translations challenge contemporary notions of nation, diaspora, and belonging, and offer a window into the complex world of one eighteenth-century Afro-Caribbean woman
