Post-Emancipation Race Relations in the Bahamas. By Whittington B. Johnson. (Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2006. xii, 190 pp. $59.95, ISBN 0-8130-2994-5.)
This book examines the trajectory taken by the Bahamas between 1834 and 1865, the period after the British abolition of slavery (1834), which Whittington B. Johnson considers the formative phase of a free society there. Despite the title, Johnson also provides a general account of the colony's history, with chapters on politics, economic development, social challenges, religion, education, crime, and justice; only the last chapter deals specifically with race relations. . . .
