Book launch: White Fury: A Jamaican Slaveholder and the Age of Revolution, with author Christer Petley
24 October 2018
5:30 pm to 7:00 pm
Venue: UCL Institute of the Americas, 51 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0PN<https://www.ucl.ac.uk/americas/contact-us>
White Fury tells the story of one of Jamaica's most powerful colonial inhabitants: Simon Taylor, one of the wealthiest and most influential slaveholders of the eighteenth-century British empire. Using Taylor's letters, the book sheds new light on the merciless machinery of Jamaican plantation life. It examines the impacts of the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions on the British imperial slave system; and details the importance of sugar and slavery to the eighteenth-century empire, the rise of the Caribbean planter class, and the struggle over the future of slavery that took place during the Age of Revolution.
