Sobre IBD

''The West Indies As They Are'' is a book that provides a detailed and honest portrayal of slavery in the West Indies, with a particular focus on Jamaica. The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores different aspects of the institution of slavery in the region. The first part of the book provides a general overview of the West Indies, including its geography, climate, and history of colonization. The author also discusses the economic importance of slavery to the region, and the ways in which it has shaped the social and cultural landscape of the islands. The second part of the book focuses specifically on slavery in Jamaica. The author describes the conditions under which slaves live and work, including the brutal punishments they face for disobedience or perceived insubordination. He also discusses the ways in which slave owners justify their actions, and the resistance and rebellion that slaves engage in to assert their humanity and fight against their oppression. The third part of the book offers a more hopeful perspective, exploring the possibilities for emancipation and the eventual abolition of slavery in the West Indies. The author discusses the various movements and individuals who have worked towards this goal, and the challenges they face in achieving it. Overall, ''The West Indies As They Are'' is a powerful and insightful exploration of one of the darkest periods in human history. It provides a valuable historical record of the experiences of enslaved people in the West Indies, and a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and equality in our world today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
