Jamaica, Oxford, 1971, pp. 188-91. The historical records of Barbados have so far yielded only one such marriage during the entire period of slavery. This marriage took place in 1685. See J. Handler, The Unappropriated People: Freedom in the Slave Society o f Barbados, Balti more, 1974, P-201 •
4 Gad Heuman’s, Between Black and White: Race, Politics and the Free Coloureds in Jamaica, 1792-1865, Oxford, 1981, is undoubtedly one of the finest case studies of this social category within the New World. For a good overview of the position within the Americas as a whole, see D. Cohen and J. Greene (eds), Neither Slave Nor Free, Baltimore, 1972. Cf. Mavis C. Campbell, The Dynamics o f Change in a Slave Society: A Socio-Political History o f the Free Coloureds o f Jamaica 1800-1865 New Jersey, 1976.
