This book provides a legal historical insight into colonial laws on
enslavement and the plantation system in the British West Indies.
The volume is a work of comparative legal history of the
English-speaking Caribbean which concentrates on how the laws of
England served to catalyse the slavery laws and also legislation
pertaining to post-emancipation societies. The book illustrates how
these "borrowed" laws from England not only developed colonial
slavery laws within the English-speaking Caribbean but also
inspired the slavery codes of a number of North American plantation
systems. The cusp of the work focuses on the interconnectivities
among the English-speaking slave holding Atlantic and how persons,
free and unfree, moved throughout the system and brought laws with
them which greatly affected the various enslaved societies. The
book will be essential reading for students and researchers
interested in colonial slavery, Caribbean studies and Black and
Atlantic history.
