| |  | | | In Brief
"Faced with the international pressures of the abolition movement, British West Indian sugar planters made positive attempts to ameliorate the condition of their slaves and, in the process, enhanced their own economic viability. That is the central thesis of Ward's . . . study of the sugar industry on the islands of Barbados, Jamaica, and the smaller Leeward islands." (Choice)Bibliography. Index.
