Opis

'Englishmen Transplanted' challenges the widely accepted view of seventeenth-century Barbados planters as reckless fortune seekers who failed to create a viable society in the tropics. Rather, it argues they were settlers eager to transplant what was familiar to them: political and religious institutions, the nuclear family, and traditional views about social order, housing, and apparel.

Recenzje

Thoroughly researched, well-designed, and clearly argued, Gragg describes more comprehensively than any previous historian the tremendous changes that took place in Barbados within a very short time span.
