Excerpt from General Results of Negro Apprenticeship: As Shown by Extracts From the Public Speeches and Despatches of the Governors of Various Colonies, and of Lord Glenelg, as Secretary of State for the Colonial Department These selections are intended to refer exclusively to the proposition for abolishing Negro Apprenticeship. In contradiction to the extraordinary assertion that the present state of the Negro, if not worse, is and will be little better, than it was under the system of Slavery, they prove, by a few conclusive sentences from the best authority, that the Apprenticeship has operated not only well on the Negro individually, but on the Negro and the White in their mutual relations: that it is in fact an apprenticeship, and a beneficial one, for both. That some abuses still occur, especially in prisons and workhouses, is not denied; but that they are much diminished, and that the development of a new social feeling has begun and is advancing, is here demonstrated. That it is still, though general, only progressive, may be fairly inferred from occasional expressions and particular instances; but it is just and reasonable to believe that the right course has been chosen, and that perseverance in a plan already found so beneficial, affords the best chance of establishing an united Black and White population, which may by possibility be found capable of inhabiting and cultivating the English Colonies, in common, and with equal rights.

What role did religion or the agents of religion, both European and Afro-Jamaican, play in the conflicts that characterized the formation of a creole society in Jamaica after emancipation? Beginning from this question, Robert J. Stewart has produced the most comprehensive available treatment of the religious, social, and cultural history of nineteenth-century Jamaica. This remarkable volume explores the interaction of two Christianities, one European and the other African-based. It examines the organization, presence, politics, and mission philosophy of the major Christian denominations, as well as the creative responses of Afro-Jamaicans to evangelization. The ideological, theological, and racial assumptions embraced by the various denominations and missionaries prevented them from valuing Africanisms in the religious and cultural heritage of Afro-Jamaicans and, with Baptist exceptions, from identifying with the latter's aspirations and social problems. In consequence, Afro-Jamaican religion became a source of identity and resistance against European cultural hegemony in Jamaica. Drawing on rich troves of documents unavailable in the United States, Stewart develops major new accounts of the processes of syncretism and creolization. His grasp of European intellectual history and deft critiques of prior scholarship add to the importance of this work. An excellent raconteur, the author also presents a vivid portrait gallery of both missionaries and Afro-Jamaicans during this crucial period in the island's history.
