Book Synopsis The Slave Master of Trinidad by : Selwyn R. Cudjoe
Download or read book The Slave Master of Trinidad written by Selwyn R. Cudjoe and published by UMass + ORM. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Hardin Burnley (1780–1850) was the largest slave owner in Trinidad during the nineteenth century. Born in the United States to English parents, he settled on the island in 1802 and became one of its most influential citizens and a prominent agent of the British Empire. A central figure among elite and moneyed transnational slave owners, Burnley moved easily through the Atlantic world of the Caribbean, the United States, Great Britain, and Europe, and counted among his friends Alexis de Tocqueville, British politician Joseph Hume, and prime minister William Gladstone. In this first full-length biography of Burnley, Selwyn R. Cudjoe chronicles the life of Trinidad's "founding father" and sketches the social and cultural milieu in which he lived. Reexamining the decades of transition from slavery to freedom through the lens of Burnley's life, The Slave Master of Trinidad demonstrates that the legacies of slavery persisted in the new post-emancipation society.

Download or read book Almost Home written by Ruma Chopra and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unique story of a small community of escaped slaves who revolted against the British government yet still managed to maneuver and survive against all odds After being exiled from their native Jamaica in 1795, the Trelawney Town Maroons endured in Nova Scotia and then in Sierra Leone. In this gripping narrative, Ruma Chopra demonstrates how the unlikely survival of this community of escaped slaves reveals the contradictions of slavery and the complexities of the British antislavery era. While some Europeans sought to enlist the Maroons' help in securing the institution of slavery and others viewed them as junior partners in the global fight to abolish it, the Maroons deftly negotiated their position to avoid subjugation and take advantage of their limited opportunities. Drawing on a vast array of primary source material, Chopra traces their journey and eventual transformation into refugees, empire builders--and sometimes even slave catchers and slave owners. Chopra's compelling tale, encompassing three distinct regions of the British Atlantic, will be read by scholars across a range of fields.

Book excerpt: Even in bondage, the newly arrived African slaves considered themselves free. Led by Nanny and Cudjoe, the siblings escaped the Simmonds' plantation and went in different directions to forge their destiny in the new country called Jamaica. But before Cudjoe escaped the plantation his assignation with the housemaid, Martha, produced a daughter called Asha. Intertwined in the stories of Nanny and Cudjoe, former slaves, who would do anything for freedom, are the stories of the Simmonds' plantation owners who had their own sets of problems. And bridging the divide of slave and free, rich and poor, black and white is Asha the house slave and Mark Simmonds whose attachment was inappropriate for the times they lived in and whose lives brought it all together.
Book Synopsis Slavery's Exiles by : Sylviane A. Diouf
Download or read book Slavery's Exiles written by Sylviane A. Diouf and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2016-03 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forgotten stories of America maroons—wilderness settlers evading discovery after escaping slavery Over more than two centuries men, women, and children escaped from slavery to make the Southern wilderness their home. They hid in the mountains of Virginia and the low swamps of South Carolina; they stayed in the neighborhood or paddled their way to secluded places; they buried themselves underground or built comfortable settlements. Known as maroons, they lived on their own or set up communities in swamps or other areas where they were not likely to be discovered. Although well-known, feared, celebrated or demonized at the time, the maroons whose stories are the subject of this book have been forgotten, overlooked by academic research that has focused on the Caribbean and Latin America. Who the American maroons were, what led them to choose this way of life over alternatives, what forms of marronage they created, what their individual and collective lives were like, how they organized themselves to survive, and how their particular story fits into the larger narrative of slave resistance are questions that this book seeks to answer. To survive, the American maroons reinvented themselves, defied slave society, enforced their own definition of freedom and dared create their own alternative to what the country had delineated as being black men and women’s proper place. Audacious, self-confident, autonomous, sometimes self-sufficient, always self-governing; their very existence was a repudiation of the basic tenets of slavery.

The essays are organized in three sections: Historiography and Sources; Society, Culture and Heritage; and Economy, Labour and Politics, with contributions from scholars in the Departments of History, Literatures in English and Political Sciences and from the Main Library, University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica." -- Book Jacket.
