In this groundbreaking study, renowned historian Catherine Hall delves into the complex world of racial capitalism, shedding light on the pivotal role of Edward Long's writings in shaping ideologies of racial inequality. Long's influential History of Jamaica, penned in 1774, played a significant part in defining the binary of White and Black as inherently different and unequal. Through a meticulous examination of Long's life and work, Hall reveals the intricate web of colonialism, economics, and racism that underpinned the institution of slavery in Jamaica. This thought-provoking book offers a searing critique of the ways in which racial ideologies were constructed and sustained, providing a nuanced understanding of the systemic inequalities that continue to shape our world today. By exploring the intersection of race, colonialism, and economics, Hall offers a compelling counterhistory that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about the past and its ongoing impact on our present.
