Doctors and Slaves: A Medical and Demographic History of Slavery in the British West Indies, 1680–1834
Richard B. Sheridan
In this study Professor Sheridan presents a rich and wide-ranging account of the health care of slaves in the British West Indies, from 1680–1834. He demonstrates that while Caribbean island settlements were viewed by mercantile statesmen and economists as ideal colonies, the physical and medical realities were very different.
