Victorian Jamaica explores the extraordinary surviving archive of
visual representation and material objects to provide a
comprehensive account of Jamaican society during Queen Victoria's
reign over the British Empire, from 1837 to 1901. In their analyses
of material ranging from photographs of plantation laborers and
landscape paintings to cricket team photographs, furniture, and
architecture, as well as a wide range of texts, the contributors
trace the relationship between black Jamaicans and colonial
institutions; contextualize race within ritual and performance; and
outline how material and visual culture helped shape the complex
politics of colonial society. By narrating Victorian history from a
Caribbean perspective, this richly illustrated volume-featuring 270
full-color images-offers a complex and nuanced portrait of Jamaica
that expands our understanding of the wider history of the British
Empire and Atlantic world during this period. Contributors. Anna
