Place reservation for The Enlightenment abolished : citizens of BritishnessThe Enlightenment was an 18th-century concept that promoted 'rights and reason' but was mostly indifferent to the pernicious and 'legal' slavery that was taking place in the New World. This book is a timely and moving document that deals with the consequences of New World Slavery as seen through the eyes of a Jamaican/ British immigrant whose ancestors were slaves. The consequences of New World Slavery are embedded in our lives like genes because, as Professor Palmer concludes, we are all aware of the negative views of Black people that have been passed on from Slavery. In this regard, New World Slavery has contributed to what we have become.
