Reviews
An individual family’s rise and fall in an evolving and often alarming Atlantic empire is told through the letters of its female members and brought to life by Imbarrato’s vivid storytelling.
This book is an excellent addition to early Caribbean studies. Imbarrato provides an insightful close analysis of one remarkable family’s correspondence as they live and travel throughout the English-speaking Atlantic world, commenting thoughtfully on issues of identity, education, gender, race, and slavery.
