Moving between Britain and Jamaica this book reconstructs the world
of commerce, consumption and cultivation sustained through an
extended engagement with the business of slavery. Transatlantic
slavery was both shaping of and shaped by the dynamic networks of
family that established Britain's Caribbean empire. Tracing the
activities of a single extended family - the Hibberts - this book
explores how slavery impacted on the social, cultural, economic and
political landscape of Britain. It is a history of trade,
colonisation, enrichment and the tangled web of relations that gave
meaning to the transatlantic world. The Hibberts's
trans-generational story imbricates the personal and the political,
the private and the public, the local and the global. It is both
the intimate narrative of a family and an analytical frame through
which to explore Britain's history and legacies of slavery. -- .
