In Absentia
In the last episode, we looked at the women in Jamaica who owned slaves, both British colonists and the formerly enslaved women who codified their freedom through subjugating others.
But there were also the women who didn’t stay, ones who never set foot in Britain’s slave colonies – the absentee owners.
Featuring historian Dr. Hannah Young, who specialises in gender and absentee slave ownership.
