Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Oberlin College mission to Jamaica, begun in the 1830s, was an ambitious, and ultimately troubled, effort to use the example of emancipation in the British West Indies to advance the domestic agenda of American abolitionists. White Americans hoped to argue that American slaves, once freed, could be absorbed productively into the society that had previously enslaved them, but their civilizing mission did not go as anticipated. Gale L. Kennys illuminating study examines the differing ideas of freedom held by white evangelical abolitionists and freed people in Jamaica and explores the consequences of their encounter for both American and Jamaican history.Kenny finds that white Americanswho went to Jamaica intending to assist with the transition from slavery to Christian practice and solid citizenshipwere frustrated by liberated blacks unwillingness to conform to Victorian norms of gender, family, and religion. In tracing the history of the thirtyyear mission, Kenny makes creative use of available sources to unpack assumptions on both sides of this AmericanJamaican interaction, showing how liberated slaves in many cases were able not just to resist the imposition of white mores but to redefine the terms of the encounter.
