This study of the slave population of Trinidad is based on the Trinidadian slave registrations of 1813; 1815; and 1816; when the Registrar of Slaves recorded information on 17;087 plantation slaves. The principal goal of the study is to draw plausible upper and lower bounds on the levels of plantation slave mortality and fertility in Trinidad in the early nineteenth century.

Review
1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Excellent readBy RaquelIn particular I was interested in Chapter 7 on Brides of Christ and Other Religious Women. Fascinating read which takes into account race and class dynamics as well as the ways in which the politics of the lay society were reflected within the walls of the convents and monasteries.
