Material things mattered immensely to those who engaged in daily
struggles over the character and future of slavery and to those who
subsequently contested the meanings of freedom in the
post-emancipation Caribbean. Throughout the history of slavery,
objects and places were significant to different groups of people,
from the opulent master class to enslaved field hands as well as to
other groups, including maroons, free people of colour and
missionaries, all of who shared the lived environments of Caribbean
plantation colonies. By exploring the rich material world inhabited
by these people, this book offers new ways of seeing history from
below, of linking localised experiences with global transformations
and connecting deeply personal lived realities with larger epochal
events that defined the history of slavery and its abolition in the
British Caribbean. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Slavery & Abolition.
