This comprehensive book delves into the intricate legal history of colonial enslavement and the plantation system in the British West Indies. It serves as a valuable contribution to the field of comparative legal history, specifically focusing on the English-speaking Caribbean region. By examining the interplay between English laws and the development of slavery laws and post-emancipation societies, the book sheds light on the profound impact of these "borrowed" laws on the region.
The book illustrates how these "borrowed" laws from England not only shaped colonial slavery systems within the English-speaking Caribbean but also influenced the slavery codes of numerous North American plantation systems. The central focus of the work lies in exploring the interconnectedness of the English-speaking slaveholding Atlantic and the movement of individuals, both free and enslaved, within this system. It highlights how these individuals brought with them laws that significantly impacted the various enslaved societies.
This book is an indispensable resource for students and researchers seeking to delve into the complex and multifaceted aspects of colonial slavery, Caribbean studies, and Black and Atlantic history. It offers a rich and detailed account of the legal frameworks that facilitated the exploitation and oppression of enslaved people, providing a deeper understanding of the historical and societal implications of this tragic period.
