A Caribbean Enlightenment: Intellectual Life in the British and French Colonial Worlds, 1750–1792 - Ideas in Context
Shelford, April G. (American University, Washington DC)
Explores the intersection of Enlightenment ideas and colonial realities amongst White, male colonists in the eighteenth-century French and British Caribbean. For them, becoming 'enlightened' meant diversion, status seeking, satisfying curiosity about the tropical environment, and making sense of the brutal societies and the enslaved Africans.
