Examining such events as Tackey's Rebellion of 1760, the Somerset decision of 1772, and the murder case of the Zong in 1873 in an Atlantic context, Burnard reveals Jamiaca to be a brutally effective society that was adaptable to new economic and political circumstances, even when placed under stress, as during the American Revolution.Examining such events as Tackey's Rebellion of 1760, the Somerset decision of 1772, and the murder case of the Zong in 1873 in an Atlantic context, Burnard reveals Jamiaca to be a brutally effective society that was adaptable to new economic and political circumstances, even when placed under stress, as during the American Revolution.
