Abstract | In this book chapter, the author examines the former slave communities of Jamaica, looking at the particular sorts of aspirations Jamaicans had, the connection of gender relations among them to the expectations of the imperial emancipators, and the way in which the nonconformity of the former slaves to imperial notions shaped the subsequent coding of their behavior in racial terms and the defining of them as outside the bounds of "citizen." |
