In 1974 Lucille Mathurin Mair defended her dissertation, which has
since become a classic work in Caribbean historiography and influenced
generations of scholars. Through extensive archival work with estate
records, legal records, family papers and private correspondence, she
sought out the women of Jamaica's past during slavery, women of all
classes, all colours, black, brown and white. The work stands as a
convincing exposure of women as agents of history - a path-breaking
achievement at a time when Caribbean historiography ignored women. From
her meticulous research emerged a powerful statement that has shaped
subsequent understandings of gendered and cultural relations in Jamaican
society: the white woman consumed, the coloured woman served and the
black woman laboured. Over three decades Mair's dissertation became the
most sought after unpublished work among students and scholars of
Caribbean history and culture. Now available as a published monograph,
the work will be more widely available to a new generation of scholars
concerned with Atlantic history, slavery, culture and gender. The
editors have provided a useful and informative introduction and a
bibliography, containing the original bibliography in the dissertation
now supplemented by bibliographies detailing Mathurin Mair's subsequent
publications, subsequent UWI theses on women or gender, and books,
articles and papers on Caribbean gender issues since 1974. Co-published
with the Centre for Gender and Development Studies, University of the
West Indies, Jamaica.
