Noga Marmor is studying the history of royal slavery in the Spanish Caribbean in the eighteenth century. She is interested in understanding the workings of Spanish imperialism by looking at royal slaves as uniquely positioned, and involuntary, imperial agents. Her previous work examined how individuals interned in a British civilian camp in the Jamaica during World War II negotiated with the global imperial order imposed on them by the imperial and local authorities. She holds a BA in History and in Sociology-Anthropology from Tel Aviv University.
