Atlantic Worlds@Duke Workshop: Ebony Jones

Under discussion: Geographies of Punishment, a chapter from Dr. Jones' manuscript-in-progress, "Slavery’s Dangerous Characters: Punishment and Black Mobile Existence in Jamaica’s Atlantic World" (under contract with the University of Pennsylvania Press), which explores the use of transportation as a form of discipline and punishment for enslaved women and men convicted and sentenced by slave courts in the British Caribbean and subsequently sold and removed to British Honduras, Spanish Florida, and Cuba.
