A Jamaican Plantation: The History of Worthy Park 1670-1970

by James Walvin and Michael Craton

Book Overview

Worthy Park has archives covering much of its three-hundred year history. Using these records, the authors have written the first complete history of a West Indian sugar estate. However, this is not just the story of a single Jamaican plantation and its people over three hundred years; the study reveals, in microcosm, the social and economic development of the area.
