Book Description

ISBN-10: 0198202784 | ISBN-13: 978-0198202783 | Publication Date: October 10, 1991

A study of the West Indies in the mid-nineteenth century, this book draws together the experiences of more than a dozen different sugar colonies and forms them into a coherent historical account. The first part of the book examines the West Indies on the eve of emancipation in 1830-1865, a key passage in West Indian history. Green presents a clear general picture of the sugar colonies, and places British governmental policy toward the region in the context of Victorian attitudes toward colonial questions.

Review

"A useful synthesis...particularly cogent on the economic and political issues within the islands, showing their common concerns as well as their local variations."--Choice

"Conveniently brings together much scattered information and interestingly contrasts the development of Jamaica with that of Trinidad, Guiana, and Barbados."--Victorian Studies

This review is from: British Slave Emancipation: The Sugar Colonies and the Great Experiment, 1830-1865 (Clarendon Paperbacks) (Paperback)

I used this book for GCE History Exam and it proved to be one of the most worthwhile books on West Indian History that I have ever come across, save Columbus to Castro by Eric Williams.

This book had amazing quotes and references that will surely help you in acheiving that "A" you are looking for.

It sure did help me.
