Description

This scholarly work examines the Caribbean-Atlantic imaginary through two pivotal colonial texts: Richard Ligon's History of Barbados (1657) and Matthew 'Monk' Lewis' Journal of a West India Proprietor (1834). The study analyses how these texts represent the consciousnesses of Amerindians, Africans, and Europeans at critical moments in West Indian history, tracing the origins and decline of slavocratic systems. By exploring myths and belief systems surrounding sugar and obeah, the book identifies how these concepts functioned as symbols of order and counterorder within colonial power structures, examining their material and symbolic significance in shaping Caribbean-Atlantic culture and consciousness.
