Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annals of Jamaica, Vol. 2 In the long career of vice and vigour, of error and oppression, I have at length reached the term of my labours, and have completed my design of bringing down the Annals of Jamaica, from the first blush of that morning which dawned upon the long night of transatlantic oblivion, to the present evening of its decayed and feeble existence. The tedious task of selecting from the dull mass of colonial records has not been enlivened by any hope that the public favour will be extended to my work; for its subject is unpopular, and an enlightened age requires from the historian some tincture of philosophy and criticism. I cannot, therefore, expect that the narrative will possess any interest beyond the confined circle of those who still retain a share in the soil of Jamaica.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1828 edition. Excerpt: ...persisting in the legitimate, or unjust persecution of the refractory attorney-general, was reluctantly dissolved by proclamation. The high office of attorney-general seems to have been an object of popular and peculiar jealousy. Either the individuals who successively filled, or the parties who constantly opposed it, must have been influenced by very unworthy motives. At the distance of a century it is unfair to judge harshly of either party; for it may be observed, that single acts of virtue and of vice can seldom be weighed against ach other; but as it is possible, and barely possible, that truth and justice may be supported by means most adverse to their nature, we may be allowed to pause before we pronounce either Kelly guilty, or the Assembly oppressive. At a period of doubt and distraction, when the attorney-general was, I believe universally, a member of Assembly, he might be an object of suspicion, as a vigilant spy and a diligent reporter to the Governor, into whose most secret councils his office admitted him. He might have betrayed that trust, or he might have been a traitor to the Assembly. It was an office difficult, if not impossible, to execute with satisfaction to both parties; and it was afterwards attached to the intermediate branch of the legislature, where it is independent of either, but connected with both. It is far more easy to fall below, than to rise above, the common level of morality; and although a few guilty days may perhaps be found in the annals of Jamaican jurisprudence, yet, in the general tenour of their conduct, the high offices of colonial justice have been filled by men virtuous, temperate, and skilful, --the friends of humanity and the protectors of the people. A tremendous hurricane now added..

Download or read book Island on Fire written by Tom Zoellner and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a New York Times bestselling author, a gripping account of the slave rebellion that led to the abolition of slavery in the British Empire. For five horrific weeks after Christmas in 1831, Jamaica was convulsed by an uprising of its enslaved people. What started as a peaceful labor strike quickly turned into a full-blown revolt, leaving hundreds of plantation houses in smoking ruins. By the time British troops had put down the rebels, more than a thousand Jamaicans lay dead from summary executions and extrajudicial murder. While the rebels lost their military gamble, their sacrifice accelerated the larger struggle for freedom in the British Atlantic. The daring and suffering of the Jamaicans galvanized public opinion throughout the empire, triggering a decisive turn against slavery. For centuries bondage had fed Britain’s appetite for sugar. Within two years of the Christmas rebellion, slavery was formally abolished. Island on Fire is a dramatic day-by-day account of this transformative uprising. A skillful storyteller, Tom Zoellner goes back to the primary sources to tell the intimate story of the men and women who rose up and tasted liberty for a few brief weeks. He provides the first full portrait of the rebellion's enigmatic leader, Samuel Sharpe, and gives us a poignant glimpse of the struggles and dreams of the many Jamaicans who died for liberty.

Download or read book Contested Bodies written by Sasha Turner and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2017-05-05 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often thought that slaveholders only began to show an interest in female slaves' reproductive health after the British government banned the importation of Africans into its West Indian colonies in 1807. However, as Sasha Turner shows in this illuminating study, for almost thirty years before the slave trade ended, Jamaican slaveholders and doctors adjusted slave women's labor, discipline, and health care to increase birth rates and ensure that infants lived to become adult workers. Although slaves' interests in healthy pregnancies and babies aligned with those of their masters, enslaved mothers, healers, family, and community members distrusted their owners' medicine and benevolence. Turner contends that the social bonds and cultural practices created around reproductive health care and childbirth challenged the economic purposes slaveholders gave to birthing and raising children. Through powerful stories that place the reader on the ground in plantation-era Jamaica, Contested Bodies reveals enslaved women's contrasting ideas about maternity and raising children, which put them at odds not only with their owners but sometimes with abolitionists and enslaved men. Turner argues that, as the source of new labor, these women created rituals, customs, and relationships around pregnancy, childbirth, and childrearing that enabled them at times to dictate the nature and pace of their work as well as their value. Drawing on a wide range of sources—including plantation records, abolitionist treatises, legislative documents, slave narratives, runaway advertisements, proslavery literature, and planter correspondence—Contested Bodies yields a fresh account of how the end of the slave trade changed the bodily experiences of those still enslaved in Jamaica.
