While previous research on household archaeology in the colonial
Caribbean has drawn heavily on artifact analysis, this volume
provides the first in-depth examination of the architecture of
slave housing during this period. It examines the considerations
that went into constructing and inhabiting living spaces for the
enslaved and reveals the diversity of people and practices in these
settings. Contributors present case studies using written
descriptions, period illustrations, architectural features, and
other evidence to illustrate the wide variety of built environments
for enslaved populations in places including Jamaica, the Bahamas,
and the islands of the Lesser Antilles. They investigate how slaves
defined their social positions and identities through house, yard,
and garden space; they explore what daily life was like for slaves
on military compounds; they compare the spatial arrangements of
slave villages on plantations based on type of labor; and they show
how the style of traditional labor houses became a form of
vernacular architecture still in use today. This volume expands our
understanding of the wide range of slave experiences across
British, French, Dutch, and Danish colonies.
