Ties That Bind signals a shift from the traditional focus by historians of the family on family forms and structure and instead assesses the relationships and interactions with black family networks in the landscape of post-slavery Jamaica. Chronicled throughout this book are the issues that were intrinsic to the freed people's notion of family well-being.
