From Africa to Jamaica
The Making of an Atlantic Slave Society, 17751807
University Press of Florida
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.
Audra A. Diptee, associate professor of history at Carleton University, is the coeditor of Remembering Africa and Its Diasporas, Children in Colonial Africa, and Beyond Fragmentation: Perspectives in Caribbean History.
