Jenny Shaw examines how marginalized colonial subjects--Irish and Africans--contributed to these processes. By emphasizing their everyday experiences Shaw makes clear that each group persisted in its own cultural practices; Irish and Africans also worked within--and challenged--the limits of the colonial regime. Shaw's research demonstrates the extent to which hierarchies were in flux in the early modern Caribbean, allowing even an outcast servant to rise to the position of island planter, and underscores the fallacy that racial categories of black and white were the sole arbiters of difference in the early English Caribbean. The everyday lives of Irish and Africans are obscured by sources constructed by elites. Through her research, Jenny Shaw overcomes the constraints such sources impose by pushing methodological boundaries to fill in the gaps, silences, and absences that dominate the historical record. By examining legal statutes, census material, plantation records, travel narratives, depositions, interrogations, and official colonial correspondence, as much for what they omit as for what they include, Everyday Life in the Early English Caribbean uncovers perspectives that would otherwise remain obscured. This book encourages readers to rethink the boundaries of historical research and writing and to think more expansively about questions of race and difference in English slave societies.Early American places.IrishWest Indies, BritishHistory17th centuryIrishWest Indies, BritishEthnic identityCatholicsWest Indies, BritishHistory17th centurySlaveryWest Indies, BritishHistory17th centuryWest Indies, BritishHistory17th centuryWest Indies, BritishEthnic relationsHistory17th centuryElectronic books.IrishHistoryIrishEthnic identity.CatholicsHistorySlaveryHistory972.9/03Shaw Jenny1977-996787MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452800603321Everyday life in the early English Caribbean2285407UNINA03193nam 22006494a 450 991078498430332120230617041624.00-19-191758-31-280-75674-80-19-151487-X1-4294-6029-6(CKB)1000000000408457(EBL)422582(OCoLC)437108896(SSID)ssj0000257706(PQKBManifestationID)12078590(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000257706(PQKBWorkID)10253770(PQKB)11574837(MiAaPQ)EBC422582(StDuBDS)EDZ0002351278(Au-PeEL)EBL422582(CaPaEBR)ebr10266443(CaONFJC)MIL75674(EXLCZ)99100000000040845720040421d2004 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThailand at the margins[electronic resource] internationalization of the State and the transformation of labour /Jim GlassmanOxford ;New York Oxford University Press20041 online resource (260 p.)Oxford geographical and environmental studies seriesPreviously issued in print: 2004.0-19-926763-4 Includes bibliographical references (p.
