The Caribbean in the Age of Revolution. In The Age of Revolutions in Global Context, c. 1760-1840. ed. David Armitage, Sanjay Subramanyam, New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2010. pp. 83-100, 240-246, 279-280. (original) (raw)

The chapter examines the Caribbean during the Age of Revolution (c. 1760-1840), emphasizing how colonial power dynamics and slavery persisted despite revolutionary movements. While British emancipation in 1833 and the Haitian Revolution significantly influenced the region's slave population, the chapter argues that colonial resilience and economic factors played crucial roles in shaping outcomes. The interplay between local developments and European influences highlights the complexity of the Caribbean's revolutionary experience, revealing a nuanced relationship between imperialism and revolution.
