Excerpt: ... persecutions to which the slaves--more especially the religious slaves--were exposed, lying, as they did, entirely at the mercy of men who had set themselves above all the laws and authorities of the land, and were alike strangers to humanity, and to the fear of God. CHAPTER XXII. LYNCH LAW. But hostility to Christian missionaries, and obstructions to their labours, were by no means limited to the northern parishes: the same spirit prevailed throughout the island; although circumstances were less favourable to its developement in some districts than in others. In every parish, throughout the colony, the Colonial Union was established, except in Kingston, where the free black and coloured population assumed such a formidable attitude, that its friends and supporters thought it prudent not to proceed with its formation. In the extensive parish of St. Thomas-in-the-East, the persecution of ministers of religion was by no means a thing unknown, --men whose only crime, real or pretended, was that of preaching the Gospel, or offering prayer to Almighty God, having been incarcerated in its filthy dungeons: and here, under the influence of the Colonial Church Union, persecution was revived. In the month of August, 1832, a detachment of troops of the line was sent to be stationed at Manchioneal, in compliance with the wishes of the magistrates; and as no better provision could be made for the accommodation of the commanding officer, these gentlemen, in the plenitude of their magisterial authority, determined on procuring for his convenience the house occupied by the Rev. J. Rowden, the Wesieyan missionary stationed at the place. In the absence of Mr. Rowden, the custoa of Portland, an adjoining parish, accompanied by two other persons, without any.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Merle Curti Award Winner of the James A. Rawley Prize Winner of the Louis Gottschalk Prize Longlisted for the Cundill Prize “Vincent Brown makes the dead talk. With his deep learning and powerful historical imagination, he calls upon the departed to explain the living. The Reaper’s Garden stretches the historical canvas and forces readers to think afresh. It is a major contribution to the history of Atlantic slavery.”—Ira Berlin From the author of Tacky’s Revolt, a landmark study of life and death in colonial Jamaica at the zenith of the British slave empire. What did people make of death in the world of Atlantic slavery? In The Reaper’s Garden, Vincent Brown asks this question about Jamaica, the staggeringly profitable hub of the British Empire in America—and a human catastrophe. Popularly known as the grave of the Europeans, it was just as deadly for Africans and their descendants. Yet among the survivors, the dead remained both a vital presence and a social force. In this compelling and evocative story of a world in flux, Brown shows that death was as generative as it was destructive. From the eighteenth-century zenith of British colonial slavery to its demise in the 1830s, the Grim Reaper cultivated essential aspects of social life in Jamaica—belonging and status, dreams for the future, and commemorations of the past. Surveying a haunted landscape, Brown unfolds the letters of anxious colonists; listens in on wakes, eulogies, and solemn incantations; peers into crypts and coffins, and finds the very spirit of human struggle in slavery. Masters and enslaved, fortune seekers and spiritual healers, rebels and rulers, all summoned the dead to further their desires and ambitions. In this turbulent transatlantic world, Brown argues, “mortuary politics” played a consequential role in determining the course of history. Insightful and powerfully affecting, The Reaper’s Garden promises to enrich our understanding of the ways that death shaped political life in the world of Atlantic slavery and beyond.

Book Surviving Slavery in the British Caribbean

Download or read book Surviving Slavery in the British Caribbean written by Randy M. Browne and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking study of slavery and power in the British Caribbean that foregrounds the struggle for survival Atlantic slave societies were notorious deathtraps. In Surviving Slavery in the British Caribbean, Randy M. Browne looks past the familiar numbers of life and death and into a human drama in which enslaved Africans and their descendants struggled to survive against their enslavers, their environment, and sometimes one another. Grounded in the nineteenth-century British colony of Berbice, one of the Atlantic world's best-documented slave societies and the last frontier of slavery in the British Caribbean, Browne argues that the central problem for most enslaved people was not how to resist or escape slavery but simply how to stay alive. Guided by the voices of hundreds of enslaved people preserved in an extraordinary set of legal records, Browne reveals a world of Caribbean slavery that is both brutal and breathtakingly intimate. Field laborers invoked abolitionist-inspired legal reforms to protest brutal floggings, spiritual healers conducted secretive nighttime rituals, anxious drivers weighed the competing pressures of managers and the condition of their fellow slaves in the fields, and women fought back against abusive masters and husbands. Browne shows that at the core of enslaved people's complicated relationships with their enslavers and one another was the struggle to live in a world of death. Provocative and unflinching, Surviving Slavery in the British Caribbean reorients the study of Atlantic slavery by revealing how differently enslaved people's social relationships, cultural practices, and political strategies appear when seen in the light of their unrelenting struggle to survive.
