Ties that Bind: The Black Family in Post-Slavery Jamaica, 1834-1882
Jenny M. Jemmott
Marc Notes: This title assesses the relationships and interactions within Black family networks in the landscape of post-slavery Jamaica. Chronicled throughout this book are the issues which were intrinsic to the freed people's notion of family well-being, including the need to reconstitute members separated by slavery, attainment of secure shelter, access to land and education, assertion of parental control, and reclaiming the dignity and personhood of family members.
