Archibald Monteath: Igbo, Jamaican, Moravian

An English translation, bearing his identity, as well as postscripts of hymnals and an account of his final days - added by yet another missionary - was duly read as a commemoration at his funeral and published in another missionary magazine the year after his death. With great insight and in considerable detail, Warner-Lewis delves into Monteath's Igbo origins; slave life; plantation society in Jamaica; British mercantile networks; and relationships among slaves and European groups, as well as between them (pp. 69-1 17, 257-60).
