She examines the nature of the Bahamian race and class relations and interactions between dominant groups--from whites, to people who identified as creole or mixed race, to liberated Africans--between the 1880s and the early 1960s.Social classesBahamasHistoryBahamasRace relationsHistoryBahamasSocial conditionsHistoryBahamasHistorySocial classesHistory.305.80097296Saunders Gail1158226Brereton Bridget1946-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809684203321Race and class in the colonial Bahamas4009470UNINA
