Book Synopsis The Economy and Material Culture of Slaves by : Roderick Alexander McDonald
Book excerpt: A detailed study of the economies and material cultures that slaves built among themselves in two of the most heavily developed plantation regions in the Americas. Focusing on two geographical areas that led in the production of sugar--Jamaica in the 18th century and Louisiana in the mid-19th century--McDonald (history, Rider College) examines the resourceful efforts slaves on the sugar plantations made to better their circumstances under working conditions that were among the most taxing endured by slaves anywhere.
