It probably contains more information than any single source on Jamaican society and on slaves and slavery, and provides many important insights into the lives of slaves and of whites. Given the subject and the materials, this book will be of interest to all concerned with the study of slavery as well as scholars of the Caribbean and of British Caribbean history. (Stanley L.

Synopsis
Eighteenth-century Jamaica, Britain's largest and most valuable slave-owning colony, relied on a brutal system of slave management to maintain its tenuous social order. Trevor Burnard provides unparalleled insight into Jamaica's vibrant but harsh African and European cultures with a comprehensive examination of the extraordinary diary of plantation owner Thomas Thistlewood. Thistlewood's diary, kept over the course of forty years, describes in graphic detail how white rule over slaves was predicated on the infliction of terror on the bodies and minds of slaves. Thistlewood treated his slaves cruelly even while he relied on them for his livelihood. Along with careful notes on sugar production, Thistlewood maintained detailed records of a sexual life that fully expressed the society's rampant sexual exploitation of slaves. In Burnard's hands, Thistlewood's diary reveals a great deal not only about the man and his slaves but also about the structure and enforcement of power, changing understandings of human rights and freedom, and connections among social class, race, and gender, as well as sex and sexuality, in the plantation system., Eighteenth-century Jamaica, Britain's largest and most valuable slave-owning colony, relied on a brutal system of slave management to maintain its tenuous social order.

- a***p (229)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufI am very impressed by this seller. The books were here in less than a week. The packaging was outstanding and all the books were safe and sound. The price was very fair and I am very pleased with my purchase. I was also very impressed with the Honor books. I taught English to high school students for thirty years and not as current as I wish I had been in regard to these wonderful books. I hope to read as many as possible before my granddaughter can begin. Since she just turned 5 mos. I'm ok.

So don’t do what I did, I just needed to have patience. All the books showed up within in three days of each other. The books were in good condition. The packaging protected them well, and delivery time were on point. Thanks
