This book is a deconstruction of the discourse of the journals of two white slave owners in the Caribbean, Pierre Dessalles in the French colony of Martinique and William Lewis an absentee owner of two plantations in the British colony of Jamaica resident in the UK. The deconstruction focuses on the power relations between the white hegemonic elite and the enslaved non-whites, Africans and Mulattoes. The study reveals the expanse of power exercised by white hegemonic males especially over the enslaved, the resistance formulated and unleashed by the enslaved on a continuing basis and its impact upon the power of massa. What is ultimately reveal;ed is the white supremacist worldview which drives the white response to enslaved resistance and the singular contribution made by West Indian enslavement to the origin and evolution of white supremacist discourse in the North Atlantic.
