Jamaica Ladies: Female Slaveholders and the Creation of Britain’s Atlantic Empire

byChristine Walker

Focused on female Slaveholders and the Creation of Britain’s Atlantic Empire, Jamaica Ladies brings Christine Walker's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of history and social science. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
