Journal of a Residence Among the Negroes in the West Indies is a non-fiction book written by Matthew Gregory Lewis in 1861. The book is a personal account of the author's time spent living among the enslaved African population in Jamaica during the early 19th century. Lewis was a British politician and writer who spent a significant amount of time in the West Indies. His journal entries provide an intimate look into the daily lives of the enslaved people on the plantations, as well as their culture, traditions, and beliefs. The book covers a range of topics, including the harsh conditions of slavery, the brutal treatment of the enslaved people, and the impact of colonialism on the West Indies. Lewis also explores the complex relationships between the enslaved people and their white masters, as well as the role of religion and spirituality in the lives of the African population. Overall, Journal of a Residence Among the Negroes in the West Indies is an important historical document that sheds light on the experiences of enslaved people in the Caribbean during the early 19th century. It provides a unique perspective on the impact of colonialism and slavery on the region, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Caribbean history or the history of slavery in general.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
