Shelford explores the adaptation of Enlightenment culture by European colonizers in the eighteenth-century Caribbean, focusing on French and British colonies in Saint-Domingue and Jamaica. Shelford challenges the notion that the colonial Caribbean was devoid of intellectualism, arguing that British and French colonists developed their own "Enlightened" society with a distinctive colonial identity. While the book provides valuable insights into Enlightenment culture in the Caribbean, it has been criticized for its limited focus on white male elites, overlooking the role of women, people of color, and enslaved individuals in the production of an Enlightenment culture built on exploitation and violence. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of World History is the property of University of Hawai'i and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
