Description
In this first full-length biography of Burnley, Selwyn R. Cudjoe chronicles the life of Trinidad's ""founding father"" and sketches the social and cultural milieu in which he lived. Reexamining the decades of transition from slavery to freedom through the lens of Burnley's life, The Slave Master of Trinidad demonstrates that the legacies of slavery persisted in the new post-emancipation society.
