Title: Slaveholders in Jamaica
Description: At the end of the 18th century the Jamaican slave economy was crucial to Britain's lucrative colonial enterprise. This book looks at the lives of British West Indian slaveholders and their efforts to defend and justify an institution that has cast a dark shadow over modern notions of race, cultural authority and freedom.
