At the 2018 CONCACAF Women's Championship, Jamaica was drawn into Group B alongside Canada, Costa Rica and Cuba. After examining Port Royal and Kingston, Walker turns her narrative to the rural plantations in chapter 3.

Walker argues that this on-the-ground practice was especially important for the transfer of enslaved women, men, and children. Much of this work has been on African and creole women, a large constituency given greater context by Walker’s examination of free and freed women in Jamaica who became slave-owners. Jamaica will rely on their speed opening up opposing defences, particularly from the wide areas, especially with the addition of fleet-footed players Washington, Simmonds and Kalyssa van Zanten, who can be lethal when coming off the bench. In July 2022, Jamaica qualified for their 2nd World Cup, which is a historic feat, considering its men's counterparts have been unable to do the same. In 1745, a Jamaican privateer brought a prize into Kingston, the San José y las Animas, earning one of the British investors in the privateering venture nearly 100 pounds from the sale of seven enslaved Africans taken off the ship (p.

Women like Keyhorne and Rose prospered in Jamaica during the period between 1670 and 1760, the dates that encompass Walker’s study, and they complicate common images of British Caribbean colonies as tropical sugar factories dominated by White men. The Guardian’s first female Footballer of the Year in 2018, the first player from the Caribbean to win the Concacaf Player of the Year Award in 2022, and Jamaica’s all-time leading scorer with 56 goals, Khadija “Bunny” Shaw’s career is one of bumps, bruises and of course, tremendous success.

Jamaica Ladies is the first systematic study of the free and freed women of European, Euro-African, and African descent who perpetuated chattel slavery and reaped its profits in the British Empire. During that tournament, Jamaica registered a 1-0 win over the host nation and also beat Haiti 4-0 and Costa Rica 1-0 on their way to a third-place finish. Rose was a wealthy and powerful woman in a colony that had become central to Britain’s transatlantic empire. Through the purchase of enslaved children as companions for their children and grandchildren and their investment of revenue from enslaved-supported business endeavors in financial institutions that undergirded the empire, women like Sarah Shanks and her daughter Anna Hassell “normalized slaveholding and strengthened the ties between female heirs and Atlantic slavery” (p.The first chapter, a case study of late seventeenth-century Port Royal, opens with a discussion of Elizabeth Doddington, a “member of the pioneering generation of colonists” who settled on Jamaica in the years immediately following England’s capture of the island from Spain in 1655 (p.

A total of 10 percent of all slave owners in Jamaica were women, and nearly 80 percent of women who held any property owned enslaved Africans.
