The problem of freedom: race, labor, and politics in Jamaica and Britain, 1832-1938

"A spirited and absorbing history of emancipation, oppression, and rebellion in the British empire."--C. Vann Woodward.
"Holt greatly extends and deepens our understanding of the emancipation experience when, for just over a century, the people of Jamaica struggled to achieve their own vision of freedom and autonomy against powerful conservative forces."--David Barry Gaspar.
