Abstract | An examination of socioeconomic conditions and political status of the Black community in the Virgin Islands after emancipation supports the contention that the "Fireburn" uprising of 1878 was not a riot but a labor revolt. The revolt resulted in flexible labor contracts, land-buying terms, and unions for working-class Blacks. (ML) |
