Notes:
361 p, The general purpose of this book is to give an analysis of the political sociology of the Caribbean islands and the seas around them from about 1750 to about 1900. The central argument is a familiar one, that plan tations (especially sugar plantations) created a slave society, which created racism in politics and daily life (see, e.g., Knight (1990 [1978]), pp. 3–192).;

Notes:
353 p., Interspersing colonial history with her family's experience, Stuart explores the interconnected themes of settlement, sugar and slavery. In examining how these forces shaped her own family--its genealogy, intimate relationships, circumstances of birth, varying hues of skin--she illuminates how her family, among millions of others like it, in turn transformed the society in which they lived, and how that interchange continues to this day.
