The First Black Slave Society: Britain’s “Barbarity Time” in Barbados, 1636-1876

Description

Barbados used to be the birthplace of British slave society and probably the most ruthlessly colonized. The geography of Barbados used to be ideally suited for sugar plantations and there have been enormous fortunes to be made for British royalty and ruling elites from sugar produced by enslaved, “disposable” staff, fortunes that secured Britain’s place as an imperial superpower. The inhumane legacy of plantation society has formed brand new Barbados and this history will have to be fully understood by the inheritors on all sides of the ability dynamic before real change and reparatory justice can take place.
