In 1962, Hall published a very general paper on slavery, in the course of thirteen pages dealing with the socio-economic dilemmas of the planters, the economic effects of emancipation, and the consequences of slavery and post-emancipation society for his day. Hall, 1962, ‘Slaves and Slavery in the British West Indies’, Social and Economic Studies, Vol. 11, No. 4, pp. 305–18. Nearly three decades later, he published a well-edited edition of the Thistlewood diary, crafted in his thorough and understated style, that introduced Caribbean scholars to this important diary.

      23 23. The term comes from the Greek doulosis, meaning enslavement, derived from doulos, ‘slave’. I use the spelling ‘doulotic’ to distinguish it from the related term ‘dulotic’ used in social biology for a species of enslaving ants.

      29 29. It is interesting that, fifteen years before Burnard’s academic blockbuster, the Jamaican historian Douglas Hall had produced a valuable edited version of Thistlewood’s diary, noted earlier: In Miserable Slavery: Thomas Thistlewood in Jamaica, 1750–86, Macmillan Press. Given the explosive nature of the subject and its implications for the study of Jamaican slavery, and slavery in general, Hall’s understated editing may have prevented his work from reaching a wider audience. In a later study Hall’s detachment from Thistlewood’s gross inhumanities may have been taken too far in his admiring discussion of the enslaver’s botanic and gardening interests, occasionally referring respectfully to him as ‘Mr Thistlewood’. It was a bit odd, like writing about the Marquis de Sade’s curious reflections on the literary merits of Matthew ‘Monk’ Lewis’ gothic writings without ever mentioning the fact that he was, well, a sadist.

      33 33. Lucille Mathurin Mair was the pioneer of gender studies of Jamaican and West Indian slavery, on which see her very influential 1974 dissertation, eventually published in 2006 as A Historical Study of Women in Jamaica, 1655–844, University of the West Indies Press. Mair drew on The Sociology of Slavery in her interesting theory that gender attitudes and the disproportionate use of women in the fields may have retarded technological development on Jamaican slave plantations.
