520 "Rich with historical sketches of the life and experiences
of slaves in Africa, on slave ships, and in Jamaica, this
volume illustrates the way enslaved Africans lived and
helped to shape Jamaican society in the three decades
before British abolition of the slave trade. Audra
Diptee's in-depth investigations reveal unexpected
insights into the demographics of those captured in Africa
and legally transported on British slave ships. For
example, there is a commonly held belief that slave
traders had a preference for adult males. In fact, the
practicalities of slave raiding meant that women, children,
and large groups of the elderly were particularly
vulnerable during raids and were more often captured and
made available for sale in the Caribbean. From Africa to
Jamaica offers a new look at the Atlantic slave trade in
its final years, fleshing out the historical portrait of
the African men, women, and children who were sold in
Jamaica and were thus among the last of the enslaved to
put their stamp on Jamaican society. There is no
comparable study that takes such a comprehensive approach,
looking at both the African and Jamaican sides of the
trade system"--Provided by publisher.
