• Format: ePub

By examining writings by women in the long eighteenth century and comparing them to contemporary sources, this book seeks to complicate the stereotypes present of overconsumption and insensibility in British Jamaica. The sentimental exchanges of material goods solidified bonds for white women separated by the Atlantic.
