Review "Companion to the bibliography on the same topic (see item #bi 96001144#), work provides access to superb 18th- and 19th-century printed sources on slavery in the Danish Caribbean, most of them translated from Danish. Much less well-known than their English and French counterparts, these texts often bring fresher and more detailed information from a variety of informants - missionaries, administrators, overseers, physicians"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
General note"Publication prepared in conjunction with a teacher training institute... entitled Cultural adaptation and change in New World and Danish West Indian slave communities".
