Opis

This book re-connects the two island colonies of Montreal and Jamaica, sites with economic and military value. Delivering one of the first slavery studies books to juxtapose temperate and tropical slavery and the first such comparative work in art history, Nelson explores how vision and cartographic knowledge translated into visual authority.
