In this expanded edition of an earlier work (1990) Gail Saunders advances our knowledge of Bahamian history by providing an in depth study of specific episodes and communities as well as important developments in social and economic life of the island chain. Bahamian Society After Emancipation also helps to locate the Bahamas within a regional historical context by showing that despite the absence of sugar and a dominant agricultural economy, the islands’ social development bears great similarities to the countries of the Caribbean.

Gail Saunders is the Director of the Archives of the Bahamas and that country’s leading historian. She has co-authored with Michael Craton a 2-volume history of the Bahamas Islanders in The Stream: A history of the Bahamian people as well as several other books. She is the current President of the Association of Caribbean Historians.
