Foreword by Juanita Cox-Westmaas and Rod Westmaas.

Scots were involved in every stage of the slave trade: from captaining slaving ships to auctioning captured Africans in the colonies and hunting down those who escaped from bondage. This book focuses on the Scottish Highlanders who engaged in or benefitted from these crimes against humanity in the Caribbean Islands and Guyana, some reluctantly but many with enthusiasm and without remorse. Their voices are clearly heard in the archives, while in the same sources their victims? stories are silenced ? reduced to numbers and listed as property.

The African slave trade, the English "sugar islands," and Scots in the expanding empire -- Northern Scots in Guyana on the "last frontier" of empire -- Entangled histories : the legaices of slavery in the north of Scotland -- Reckonings.
