The story of Britain's slave empire
This volume describes the life of Henry Clarke, a teacher, a cleric politician, a businessman, an inventor, and the father of eleven children who lived in Jamaica for the last 60 years of his life.
Surveying the key questions of slavery, this book traces the arguments which have surrounded its history in recent years. A wide-ranging thematic organisation covers racial, economic, political, social, cultural, gender and colonial dimensions.
