An archaeology of social space
analyzing coffee plantations in Jamaica's Blue Mountains
by James A. Delle
In An Archaeology of Social Space, James A. Delle examines the cognitive and material records of spatial design and use - including maps, architectural drawings, landscapes, and historical treatises - of three coffee plantations in the Yallahs drainage of eastern Jamaica.
Using the data collected from these sources, he considers such issues as: The rise and fall of the Jamaican coffee industry, and how this fluctuation was influenced by events in the larger world economy; how economic changes resulted in the creation of new social and material spaces in highland Jamaica; and the ways in which these spaces served as an arena for the negotiation of power in a plantation context, both before and after the abolition of slavery.
Professionals, researchers, and students in archaeology, anthropology, history, sociology, and economics, will find this a unique and extremely valuable work.
