The Last Caribbean Frontier, 1795-1815
- Kartonierter Einband
- 276 Seiten
Beschreibung
The Southern Caribbean was the last frontier in the Atlantic world and the most contested region in the Caribbean during the Age of Revolution. As well as illuminating this little-understood region, the book seeks to complicate our understanding of the Caribbean, the role of 'free people of colour' and the nature of slavery.
'It is a very long time since I read such an interesting, original - and extremely well-written manuscript from a young scholar. This is a book of great originality, written with terrific verve and historical imagination - and on a topic which has oddly eluded many others working on the Caribbean.'
- Professor James Walvin, Professor of History Emeritus, University of York
