Agency of the Enslaved: Jamaica and the Culture of Freedom in the Atlantic World - Paperback

by D. A. Dunkley (Author)

In this book, author D.A. Dunkley challenges the notion that enslavement fostered the culture of freedom in the former colonies of Western Europe in the Americas. Dunkley explores the importance of the agency displayed by enslaved people and argues that this formed the real basis of the culture of freedom in the Atlantic societies.
