This book examines the catalyst role of Edward Long in the development of doctrines of British and European racial supremacy in the critical last quarter of the 18th century through his three volume History of Jamaica published in London in 1774. Long, with acrid vehemence, denigrated and libelled Africa, Africans and people of African ancestry. It was a work of race vilification which today is still unfortunately the creed of many, and which still has ramifications in Britain today, exemplified by the unjust and unfair treatment of many black people.

Fọlarin Shyllon read Law at King’s College London, and served as Dean of the Faculty of Law of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. He is the author of Intellectual Property Law in Nigeria (2003) and International Encyclopaedia of Laws for Intellectual Property Law: Nigeria (2016). His previous books also include Black Slaves in Britain (1974), Black People in Britain 1555-1833 (1977), and James Ramsay: The Unknown Abolitionist (1977).
