- Planters is based on archival research in the UK, the US and the Caribbean, and focusses on the plantation societies over a long temporal span and a very wide spatial area, from Maryland in the Middle Colonies of America to Caribbean colonies on the South American coast. It combines both concentrated research into vital records on demography, wealth and slavery as well as an extensive examination of a number of diverse historiographies in Atlantic, American, and Caribbean history. The book seeks to reframe discussion of plantations as economically successful while also being racially pernicious.
