Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tour Through the British West Indies: In the Years 1802 and 1803, Giving a Particular Account of the Bahama Islands The first part of this Tour was composed in the island of Jamaica, from notes intended rather as familiar communications to a friend than for the deliberate purpose of a future publication. The author, who had been a very cursory observer, could hardly presume to add any thing to what has been written on subjects of such importance aid extent as our valuable Sugar Islands in the West Indies; and a general history of great respectability has not long since been published, embracing every object of any importance respecting the island of Jamaica.

Download or read book History of the British West Indies written by Sir Alan Burns and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-03 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of the British West Indies (1954) examines the history of the islands of the Caribbean from their first discovery, through the periods of colonisation and slavery, and up to the beginnings of their status as independent nations. The actions of other nations are studied, as well as the British, as the various colonial powers vied for possession of these valuable possessions. Terrible cruelty was inflicted by colonial masters to the indigenous inhabitants, the slaves and indentured labour, and the worst of these are recorded in separate appendices.
Download or read book Negotiating relief and freedom written by Oscar Webber and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Negotiating relief and freedom is an investigation of short- and long-term responses to disaster in the British Caribbean colonies during the ‘long’ nineteenth century. It explores how colonial environmental degradation made their inhabitants both more vulnerable to and expanded the impact of natural phenomena such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. It shows that British approaches to disaster ‘relief’ prioritised colonial control and ‘fiscal prudence’ ahead of the relief of the relief of suffering. In turn, that this pattern played out continuously in the long nineteenth century is a reminder that in the Caribbean the transition from slavery to waged labour was not a clean one. Times of crisis brought racial and social tensions to the fore and freedoms once granted, were often quickly curtailed.
Download or read book Race Relations in the Bahamas 1784 1834 written by Whittington Johnson and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2000-07-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This deeply researched, clearly written book is a history of black society and its relations with whites in the Bahamas from the close of the American Revolution to emancipation. Whittington B. Johnson examines the communities developed by free, bonded, and mixed-race blacks on the islands as British colonists and American loyalists unsuccessfully tried to establish a plantation economy. The author explores how relations between the races developed civilly in this region, contrasting it with the harsher and more violent experiences of other Caribbean islands and the American South. Interpreting church documents and Colonial Office papers in a new light, Johnson presents a more favorable conclusion than previously advanced about the conditions endured by victims of the African Diaspora and by Creoles in the Bahama Islands. He makes use of an impressive and important body of archival and secondary research. Race Relations in the Bahamas will be a book of great interest to southern historians, historians of slave societies and black communities, scholars of race relations, and general readers.

Download or read book Conservation of Caribbean Island Herpetofaunas Volume 2 Regional Accounts of the West Indies written by Adrian Hailey and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-04-07 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the islands of the Caribbean have long histories of herpetological exploration and discovery, and even longer histories of human-mediated environmental degradation. Collectively, they constitute a major biodiversity hotspot – a region rich in endemic species that are threatened with extinction. This two-volume series documents the existing status of herpetofaunas (including sea turtles) of the Caribbean, and highlights conservation needs and efforts. Previous contributions to West Indian herpetology have focused on taxonomy, ecology and evolution, particularly of lizards. This series provides a unique and timely review of the status and conservation of all groups of amphibians and reptiles in the region. This volume provides regional accounts of the islands of the West Indies biogeographic region.
Download or read book Troubling Freedom written by Natasha Lightfoot and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1834 Antigua became the only British colony in the Caribbean to move directly from slavery to full emancipation. Immediate freedom, however, did not live up to its promise, as it did not guarantee any level of stability or autonomy, and the implementation of new forms of coercion and control made it, in many ways, indistinguishable from slavery. In Troubling Freedom Natasha Lightfoot tells the story of how Antigua's newly freed black working people struggled to realize freedom in their everyday lives, prior to and in the decades following emancipation. She presents freedpeople's efforts to form an efficient workforce, acquire property, secure housing, worship, and build independent communities in response to elite prescriptions for acceptable behavior and oppression. Despite its continued efforts, Antigua's black population failed to convince whites that its members were worthy of full economic and political inclusion. By highlighting the diverse ways freedpeople defined and created freedom through quotidian acts of survival and occasional uprisings, Lightfoot complicates conceptions of freedom and the general narrative that landlessness was the primary constraint for newly emancipated slaves in the Caribbean.

Download or read book Transatlantic Abolitionism in the Age of Revolution written by J. R. Oldfield and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-08 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transatlantic Abolitionism in the Age of Revolution offers a fresh exploration of anti-slavery debates in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It challenges traditional perceptions of early anti-slavery activity as an entirely parochial British, European or American affair, and instead reframes the abolition movement as a broad international network of activists across a range of metropolitan centres and remote outposts. Interdisciplinary in approach, this book explores the dynamics of transatlantic abolitionism, along with its structure, mechanisms and business methods, and in doing so, highlights the delicate balance that existed between national and international interests in an age of massive political upheaval throughout the Atlantic world. By setting slave trade debates within a wider international context, Professor Oldfield reveals how popular abolitionism emerged as a political force in the 1780s, and how it adapted itself to the tumultuous events of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
