Contentious Liberties: American Abolitionists in Post-Emancipation Jamaica, 1834-1866 - Race in the Atlantic World, 1700–1900
Gale L. Kenny
Kenny’s illuminating study examines the differing ideas of freedom held by white evangelical abolitionists and freed people in Jamaica and explores the consequences of their encounter for both American and Jamaican history. He shows how liberated slaves were able to resist the imposition of white mores and to redefine the terms of the encounter.
