David Lambert explores the political and cultural articulation of
white creole identity in the British Caribbean colony of Barbados
during the age of abolitionism (c.1780-1833), the period in which
the British antislavery movement emerged, first to attack the slave
trade and then the institution of chattel slavery itself.
Supporters of slavery in Barbados and beyond responded with their
own campaigning, resulting in a series of debates and moments of
controversy, both localised and transatlantic in significance. They
exposed tensions between Britain and its West Indian colonies, and
raised questions about whether white slaveholders could be classed
as fully 'British' and if slavery was compatible with 'English'
conceptions of liberty and morality. David Lambert considers what
it meant to be a white colonial subject in a place viewed as a
vital and loyal part of the empire but subject to increasing
metropolitan attack because of the existence of slavery.
