  • Slave Worker Rebellions and Revolution in the Americas to 1804

    Open AccessMary Turner, Mary Ann TurnerCHAPTERThe Cambridge World History Of…2011

    INTRODUCTION Africans sold as slaves for the Americas rebelled before they even reached the Americas. Shipboard uprisings were comparatively frequent, affecting as many as one in ten slavers. Shipboard conditions, traumatic wrenching from family and homeland, and fears for the future incited action. Rebels rarely succeeded. On the coast, African factors and traders assisted captains and crew, and even slaves who captured their vessels could be re…

    Open AccessMary Turner, Mary Ann TurnerARTICLENew West Indian Guide / Nieuwe…1999

    Reviews the laws devised by the imperial government to dismantle the slave labor system in the period 1823-38 in order to locate the moment of articulation between chattel and wage slavery. According to the author, the distinguishing feature of these new laws was that the workers lost the right to labor bargaining. Abolition brought free status and civil rights, but the new labor system was not less rigorous

  • Slaves and Missionaries: The disintegration of Jamaican slave society, 1787-1834

    Mary Turner, Mary Ann TurnerBOOKSlaves and missionaries1998

    On 27 December 1831 a fire on Kensington Estate in St James, Jamaica signalled the start of one of the largest slave revolts in the Caribbean. Its leaders were leaders also in the mission churches and the independent sects, and their followers expected the missionaries to support them in their bid for wage work and free status. The missionaries, however, sent to save souls from sin in the face of planter hostility, were explicitly committed to ne…

    On receiving the June 1978 issue of Monthly Review I was delighted to see an article on the present struggle in Northern Ireland (Mary Turner, "Social Democracy and Northern Ireland: the Origins of the Present Crisis"), for this question has been sadly ignored by socialist writers both in Britain and the United States. The article is clearly situated within the dominant school of socialist thought on the "Irish problem," which has traditionally f…

    The current stage of the Irish struggle for independence began in 1967 with a civil-rights campaign; less than two years later, in August 1969, British troops were sent into action, and a year later they were meeting armed resistance from the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA). Conflict between the British government and the Catholic people of the North has been sustained ever since. The government responsible for sending in the troops was i…

    In July 1824 two new bishoprics were organised in the West Indies, the bishopric of Jamaica including Honduras and the bishopric of Barbados and the Leeward and Windward islands, to promote the activity of the Anglican Church among the slave population. A series of resolutions passed in the House of Commons in May 1823 committed the government to reforms intended to prepare the slaves for eventual freedom, and primary importance was given to thei…
