Sugar And Slavery An Economic History Of The British West Indies

Sugar and Slaves presents a vivid portrait of English life in the Caribbean more than three centuries ago. Dunn examines sugar production techniques, the vicious character of the slave trade, the problems of adapting English ways to the tropics, and the appalling mortality rates for both blacks and whites that made these colonies the richest, but in human terms the least successful, in English America.Sheridan is the author of 'Sugar And Slavery An Economic History Of The British West Indies', published 2000 under ISBN 9789768125132 and ISBN 9768125136.
