Double-weighted statement
This monograph of 80,000 words (excluding notes) is based on archival research in Jamaican and British repositories, making extensive use of evidence which includes probate inventories, wills, contemporary newspapers and letters. Originally a doctoral thesis, it has been expanded substantially. It presents a detailed interpretation of white colonial society in the half-century before emancipation, including interactions between slaveholders, missionaries and free people of colour; it also considers events in Jamaica in the wider context of British conflicts over slavery.
