More about the book

Focusing on landscape archaeology, this work examines the interplay between colonialism, capitalism, and social space in the Caribbean, particularly through the lens of coffee plantations in Jamaica's Blue Mountains. James Delle critiques historical archaeology and its implications for understanding the broader Caribbean context, emphasizing how visibility and measurement shaped economic and social control from the 18th to 19th centuries. By analyzing maps, settlement philosophies, and plantation conditions, the book reveals the complexities of life during a transformative era.
