The Women of Rendezvous

The Women of Rendezvous tells the compelling story of five women—two wives, two enslaved women, and a servant—linked by their relationships with a prominent Barbados politician and enslaver. Spanning from a Barbados plantation to London's imperial center, the book delves into their efforts to forge lives for themselves and their children amid a society shaped by white supremacy and racism. Through meticulous research of historical records, the author illuminates the intertwined personal and political histories that reveal early dynamics of slavery and Black presence in England and its colonies.
