Reviews
[A]n important contribution to the historiography of nineteenth-century Trinidad... it sheds light on the multi-faceted connections between Trinidad and the Caribbean, on the one hand, and the metropolitan power on the other, in the decades before and after Britain's decision to free the enslaved people in its colonial empire., Telling the history of emancipation in Trinidad through this biography highlights planters' resistance to losing their enslaved labor suppy and their ideological and economic arguments for retaining various forms of unfree labor... The result is a satisfying history of Trinidad in the era of emancipation., The Slave Master of Trinidad is a beautifully crafted book about an influential character in our country's history... While this book is about Burnley, each chapter allows us to see a moving perspective of different aspects of Trinidadian society over the decades of slavery and beyond. Burnley wrote prolifically and was the subject of much correspondence. We have benefited from these details as a result of Prof. Cudjoe's meticulous research., Cudjoe's scholarship in The Slave Master of Trinidad is a lucid, expressive mechanism, unveiling heinous doctrines that were normalised through Atlantic slave commerce. This impressive character study of Burnley in his era reveals how one man became a titan of industry while wielding the bloodiest of ledgers.

Synopsis
William Hardin Burnley (1780-1850) was the largest slave owner in Trinidad during the nineteenth century. Born in the United States to English parents, he settled on the island in 1802 and became one of its most influential citizens and a prominent agent of the British Empire. A central figure among elite and moneyed transnational slave owners, Burnley moved easily through the Atlantic world of the Caribbean, the United States, Great Britain, and Europe, and counted among his friends Alexis de Tocqueville, British politician Joseph Hume, and prime minister William Gladstone. In this first full-length biography of Burnley, Selwyn R. Cudjoe chronicles the life of Trinidad's "founding father" and sketches the social and cultural milieu in which he lived. Reexamining the decades of transition from slavery to freedom through the lens of Burnley's life, T he Slave Master of Trinidad demonstrates that the legacies of slavery persisted in the new post-emancipation society., William Hardin Burnley (1780--1850) was the largest slave owner in Trinidad during the nineteenth century.
