Excerpt from A Winter Picnic: The Story of a Four Months Outing in Nassau, Told in the Letters, Journals, and Talk of Four Picnicers Finally, in desperation at this state of things, the four rose up from their hole in the oor one shivering January, and ed a full thousand miles away. It seemed a long distance to go for a picnic; but Chicago is nearly as far from New York, and who minds going to Chicago? They left their furnace and their greenhouse, and alas! Their shivering friends; they set forth in a sleigh for the Fortunate Isles and during a few winter days they had passed the perils and pleasures (pains they had none) of a short sea-voyage, and settled themselves comfortably in a first-class hotel on a beautiful island, and under the English ag.

Current historiography on aspects of Bahamian history presents limited research on the African presence in the islands, irrespective of the fact that arguably 85% of the population of that country is represented by such persons. One primary objective of this book is to begin to more adequately address this literary ommission by presenting an initial comprehensive work on the subject. The book attempts to trace the origin of this migration by focusing on some of the primary dynamics of ethnicity within the context of the geo-politics and geo-economics of the emerging Atlantic world. It is hoped that the reader will emerge with a greater awareness of, and wider insight into Bahamian history, and, the Bahamian majority will leave with a greater sense of what it truly means to be a Bahamian....

In 1838, the British government outlawed the slave trade, emancipated all of the slaves in its possessions, and began to interdict slave ships en route to the Americas. Almost at once, colonies that had depended on slave labour were faced with a liberated and unwilling labour force. At the same time, newly freed slaves in Sierra Leone (and later from America and elsewhere) were "persuaded" to emigrate to other British colonies to provide a new workforce to replace or augment remnants of the old. Some became paid labourers, others indentured servants. These two groups - one, English-speaking colonists; the other, new African immigrants - are the focus of this study of "receptive" communities in the West Indies. Adderley describes the formation of these settlements, and, working from scant records, tries to tease out information about the families of liberated Africans, the labour they performed, their religions, and the culture they brought with them. She addresses issues of gender, ethnicity, and identity, and concludes with a discussion of repatriation.
