It's The Problem of Freedom: Race, Labor, and Politics in Jamaica and Britain, 1832-1938 by Thomas C. Holt. Can't find a free version online, sorry.

To fellow listeners I would like to add as a reference the recent episode (in April) of The Dig where Daniel Denvir interviewed the team of Time to say goodbye, a rich dialogue which introduced me to this excellent podcast.

What's the book about slavery in Jamaica mentioned at about 55 minutes? Couldn't quite make out the name of the author and don't see it listed in the notes. (Sorry if it is and I'm missing it!)
