This book offers insight into the historical conditions of slavery in Jamaica during the 18th century through the analysis of documentation from a parliamentary committee investigating allegations of cruelty against enslaved laborers. The author focuses on the legal framework, protection, and daily treatment of enslaved individuals, as well as the Jamaican planters' motivations for wanting to maintain the status quo. The author argues that the planters' goal was to minimize scrutiny from the British and to continue their profitable slave trade by arguing that slavery was a necessary evil and that enslaved Africans were better off in the Caribbean than in their homelands. The book unveils the harsh realities, violence, and legal loopholes that sustained the inhumane system of slavery.
