Investigating the cultural, social, and political histories of punishment during ninety years surrounding the 1838 abolition of slavery in Jamaica, Paton challenges standard historiographies of slavery and discipline. The book reveals the longstanding relationship between state formation and private punishment. The construction of a dense, state-organized system of prisons began with the peak of slave-based wealth in Jamaica, in the 1780s. Emphasizing the gendered nature of penal policy and practice throughout the emancipation period, Paton is attentive to the ways in which the actions of ordinary Jamaicans and, in particular, of women prisoners, shaped state decisions.

Transitions in Caribbean Law: Law-Making, Constitutionalism and the Convergence of National and International Law traces Caribbean legal thought and its development across many areas of law. Issues of administrative, constitutional, corporate , international, and labor law are explored in the context of the Privy Council, transnational dimensions of law and intrusive role of international law in domestic law. This book is the first legal collection to truly critique the work of the Caribbean Court of Justice alongside that of the Privy Council. Through the examination of well known Caribbean cases, the contributors dispel the myth that Caribbean law is flawed and posit other legal reasoning that reconcile the foundation on which it is based with the unique needs and realities of the Caribbean.
