The Socialisation Intent In Colonial Jamaican Education, 1867-1911

Free
SKU: cje-4-1-2-3

The complete abolition of slavery throughout the British empire in 1838 carried with it profound implications for the maintenance of order, stability and economic viability in those colonies where social and economic  structures had been largely supported by slave labour.
