Before the Balloon: Barbados's 1661 Slave Code


Prior to the fantasy of Washington Black, there is law. In 1661, Barbados codified effects slavery and ended up being Britain's first slave society-- a design that took a trip through the Atlantic world. This post and 56-second trailer set the fiction versus the realities: how the Barbados Slave Code normalised punishment, secured residential or commercial property, and exported a system beyond one island. We also trace links to Halifax and daily Caribbean lives that brought durability through all of it.



Start with the trailer, continue with the referrals.
