Emancipation – The Caribbean Experience
How do people bound by the chains of slavery become free? The students in the Fall 2001 edition of History 300: Caribbean History, investigated that question. The diverse slave plantation colonies of the Caribbean basin all experienced emancipation between the 1790s and the 1880s. Enslaved people overthrew the murderous planter regime of St.-Domingue in the Haitian Revolution. The rise of reform movements helped lead to state-imposed emancipation in British colonies like Jamaica and Barbados during the 1830s. Meanwhile, the search for freedom from Spain, plus changing technologies helped to bring about the gradual freeing of Cuban slaves between the 1860s and the 1880s.

These stories document the personal experiences of individuals who discovered their callings as health care providers during a time when training in the medical field was segregated. The content of the interviews also reflects the history of health care in African American communities and the institutions that provided the training and services.
