This book theorizes a Caribbean-Atlantic imaginary that names the specific orders of ontology and knowledge in which the consciousnesses of Amerindians, Africans and Europeans found expression in the colonial West Indies. Examining the literature that bookmarked the origins and demise of slavocratic systems in the Caribbean--Richard Ligona (TM)s History of Barbados (1657) and Matthew a ~Monka (TM) Lewisa (TM)Journal of a West India Proprietor (1834)--Sandiford defines the imaginary as a model for the collective mentalities of a particular group of people in which are reflected the archives of their cultural knowledge, the repository from which they draw their shared values, their symbolic meanings and their common beliefs.
