Movements Towards Emancipation
The socio, economic and political context of the
Post Emancipated British Caribbean
Social conditions after slavery
-Slavery ended but there was no true sense of freedom for the ex-slaves. Many of the ex-slaves
struggled to create a livelihood for themselves due to pervasive colonial oppression.
-The society was highly stratified with very little opportunity for blacks to improve their social
status.
- Education on the other hand was only given to the privilegedwhite,upper middle class whites
and coloured.
-Blacks were given basic skills in education which could not improve their status in society.
-Many Children attended school irregularly and for only a few years, as their parents could not
afford school fees and lunch money.
-Many also lived and worked in squalid conditions which led to the spread of diseases thus
leading to high mortality rates
Political Conditions After Slavery
- Firstly, blacks had limited opportunity to vote and own property which contributed to much
of the hardships faced in the first half of the 19th century. For example, in order for blacks
(men) to vote they had to have 10 –30 shillings in 1906; women were not given franchise in 1919
but only to those who were aged 25, literate and paying 2 pounds a year in land tax.In places
such as Trinidad, there was no elected element in the colony’s government throughout the
19th century.
- Local legislature continued to be dominated by planters and other members of the
employed class who pass laws which favoured their own interests at the expense of
blackworkers.
- The money government needed for their expenses came mainly from import duties, but in
many cases these fell more heavily on the poor.
- Laws were not properly enforced fairly to protect the masses from exploitation.For example,
the law did not set the level of wages and offered any protection to workers when employers
decided to cut wages.
- .Clergymen of the Anglican Church were partisan to the government and decided which set
of people should get poor relief and whose child should get a scholarship
Economic Difficulties
-Economically, most blacks struggled to make a living from peasantry and huckstering due
to colonial oppression.
-The economic difficulties in the BWI were caused by the decline of the sugar industry and
the failure of most of the alternative crops to provide satisfactory substitutes by 1925.
-Later in the 1930s and 40s the Great Depression caused a Wall Street Crash 1929 which led
to the economic woes of the Caribbean.
WHAT IS POLITICAL ENFRANCHISEMENT?
Political enfranchisement refers to the right of a people or nation to determine their own affairs.
Under colonialism the Caribbean colony was under the control of the European power. However, once after
emancipation had been achieved it was only a matter of time before Caribbean people would develop the
skills and experience necessary to challenge the status quo. In the years after emancipation, thousands of
Caribbean people migrated to different regional destinations for work and better wages. This propelled the
process towards Constitutional Decolonization, which is the process whereby the colony achieves
independence.
In the 1930's economic conditions had deteriorated to such a level that the region was wrecked by labour riots,
strikes and wide-scale protests. Violence and mayhem followed. This period saw the rise of charismatic leaders
in the labour movement who, riding on their mass popularity, made the successful transition to political
leaders. Uriah Buzz Butler, Adrian Cola Rienzi and Captain A.A Cipriani of Trinidad and Tobago became a
working class movement dedicated towards better working conditions for the poor as well as improvements in
health and education. This concern with the social welfare made it inevitable that the trade unions would be
the birth-place for Caribbean political parties.
WHAT IS ADULT SUFFRAGE ?
Adult Suffrage consists of the extension of the right to vote to adult citizens
(or subjects) as a whole, though it may also mean extending said right to minors
and non-citizens. Although adult suffrage has two necessary components, the
right to vote and opportunities to vote, the term adult suffrage is associated only
with the right to vote and ignores the other aspect. Where universal suffrage
exists, the right to vote is not restricted by race, sex, belief, sexual orientation,
gender identity, wealth, social status or disability.
