Birthday visit

Longtime IRP author, colleague and friend, Professor Verene Shepherd, came to the office to talk business last week, but it was also her birthday so we treated her to lunch on the patio and dessert. She is pictured here being presented wiht her birthday cake by Elaine (sales).

Professor Shepherd is the author and/or collaborator of several now well established books on Caribbean history. These include:




  • Caribbean Slavery in the Atlantic World
  • Caribbean Freedom
  • Questioning Creole
  • Busha's Mistress Or Catherine the Fugitive: A Stirring Romance from the days of Slavery
  • Working Slavery Pricing Freedom
  • I Want to Disturb my Neighbour
  • Trading Souls
  • Saving Souls

She is presently working on Livestock, Sugar and Slavery which is due for publication in September 2008 and Engendering Caribbean History: Cross-Cultural Perspectives which is scheduled for publication in Spring 2009.
