More about the book

The narrative explores the complex dynamics of identity and belonging in the western Caribbean following England's conquest of Spanish Jamaica in 1655. It highlights the experiences of diverse groups—including traders, smugglers, refugees, and pirates—who navigated overlapping imperial claims. These individuals, representing various ethnicities and nationalities, contested their political status and affiliations, influencing the evolving concepts of sovereignty and legal identity within the context of colonial power struggles. The book delves into how these interactions shaped emerging notions of belonging in Atlantic empires.
