Book Synopsis Slavery, Childhood, and Abolition in Jamaica, 1788-1838 by : Colleen A. Vasconcellos
Book excerpt: As Vasconcellos discusses the nature of child development in the plantation complex, she looks at how colonial Jamaican society and the slave community conceived childhood, and how those ideas changed as the abolitionist movement gained power, the fortunes of planters rose and fell, and the work evolved from slavery to apprenticeship to free labor.
