{"product_id":"race-and-class-in-the-gail-saunders-9780813062549","title":"Race and Class in the Colonial Bahamas, 1880-1960","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the British Empire's most isolated and poorest colonies, the Bahamas has never quite seen itself as part of the British West Indies nor vice versa. Although the Bahamas had class tensions similar to those found in other British colonial lands, Gail Saunders shows that racial tensions did not necessarily parallel those across the West Indies so much as they mirrored those occurring in the United States--with political power and money consolidated in the hands of the white minority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaunders argues that proximity to the United States and geographic isolation from the rest of the British colonies created a uniquely Bahamian interaction among racial groups. Focusing on the period from the 1880s to the 1960s, Saunders trains her lens on the nature of relations among groups including whites, people who identified as creole or mixed race, and liberated Africans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gail Saunders\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813062543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813062549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Florida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2017","brand":"Gail Saunders","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44213362688255,"sku":"9780813062549","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c392005-6382-4b88-a8db-41b783c87156.jpg?v=1692113452","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/race-and-class-in-the-gail-saunders-9780813062549","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
