Prior to the Quakers large-scale migration to Pennsylvania, Barbados had more Quakers than any other English colony. But on this island of sugar plantations, Quakers confronted material temptations and had to temper founder George Fox s admonitions regarding slavery with the demoralizing realities of daily life in a slave-based economy one where even most Quakers owned slaves. Gragg shows how the community dealt with these contradictions as it struggled to change the culture of the richest of England s seventeenth-century colonies.
