"Reproducing the British Caribbean: Sex, Gender, and Population Politics after Slavery" by De Barros, Juanita, published by The University of North Carolina Press. This study traces the history of ideas and colonial policy-making concerning population growth and infant and maternal welfare in Caribbean colonies wrestling with the aftermath of slavery. Focusing on Jamaica, Guyana, and Barbados in the nineteenth century to the violent labour protests that swept the region in the 1930s, the book takes a comparative approach in analyzing the acrimonious social, political, and cultural struggles among former slaves and masters attempting to determine the course of their societies after emancipation.
