This book is a study in the depth of a colonial 'plantation' during
fifty critical years of slavery in the Caribbean. As the title
suggests however, it is not concerned with slavery exclusively, but
with a social entity of which slavery was a significant part.
Brathwaite argues that the people - from Britain and West Africa,
mainly - who settled, lived and worked in Jamaica, contributed to
the formation of a society which developed its own distinctive
character - creole society. This society developed institutions,
customs and attitudes which were basically the result of the
interaction between its two main elements, the African and
European. But this creole society was also part of a wider American
or New World culture complex, and as such, it was also shaped by
the pressures upon it of British and European mercantilism, and the
American, French, and Humanitarian Revolutions.
