Summary "Written in 1774, Edward Long's History of Jamaica, attempted to define White and Black as essentially different and unequal. Catherine Hall unpicks the contradictions in Long's thinking, exposing the insidious myths and stereotypes that have allowed reconfigured forms of racial difference and racial capitalism to live on in contemporary societies"-- Provided by publisher
