Christian Ritual and the Creation of British Slave Societies, 1650 178

Offers a new and challenging look at Christian institutions and practices in Britain's Caribbean and southern American colonies. Focusing on the plantation societies of Barbados, Jamaica, and South Carolina, it argues that the tradition of liturgical worship in these places was more vibrant and more deeply rooted in European Christianity than previously thought. In addition white colonists' attachment to religious continuity was thoroughly racialized.
