"This essay aims to provide a systematic analysis of Cuban slave prices in the vital period of plantation growth in the mid-nineteenth century. The analysis also measures price differentials between male and female slaves and between African-- and native-born (creole) slaves with different occupations." (authors)

Notes:
320 p, "Trevor Burnard's Mastery, Tyranny, and Desire is a detailed study based on a rather unusual and exhaustive diary of an English migrant who becomes a small slaveholder in eighteenth-century Jamaica. It probably contains more information than any single source on Jamaican society and on slaves and slavery, and provides many important insights into the lives of slaves and of whites. Given the subject and the materials, this book will be of interest to all concerned with the study of slavery as well as scholars of the Caribbean and of British Caribbean history." (Stanley L. Engerman, University of Rochester )
