No Women Jump Out!
This book aims to provide a history of twentieth-century labour in the British colony of Antigua and Barbuda. It exposes the political and racial dynamics of British colonialism in the eastern Caribbean as never before. It documents the labour and class struggles between landowners and peasants both before and after the legalization and formation of trades and labour unions in 1940.
Despite their exclusion from labour and trade union history, oral sources show women The racial dynamics are evident between white colonial administrators, landowners and mill and factory owners, as they struggled to maintain control over a black and coloured population in a changing world.The long overlooked history of the role of the British Trades Union Congress (TUC) in facilitating the end of British colonialism is one of the surprising stories of this book, as is the astonishing role of women.
