520    "Open access edition: DOI 10.6069/ 9780295748733 Dominica,
       a place once described as "Nature's Island," was rich in 
       biodiversity and seemingly abundant water, but in the 
       eighteenth century a brief, failed attempt by colonial 
       administrators to replace cultivation of varied plant 
       species with sugarcane caused widespread ecological and 
       social disruption. Illustrating how deeply intertwined 
       plantation slavery was with the environmental devastation 
       it caused, Mapping Water in Dominica situates the social 
       lives of eighteenth-century enslaved laborers in the 
       natural history of two Dominican enclaves. Mark Hauser 
       draws on archaeological and archival history from Dominica
       to reconstruct the changing ways that enslaved people 
       interacted with water and exposes crucial pieces of 
       Dominica's colonial history that have been omitted from 
       official documents. The archaeological record-which 
       preserves traces of slave households, waterways, boiling 
       houses, mills, and vessels for storing water-reveals 
       changes in political authority and in how social relations
       were mediated through the environment. Plantation 
       monoculture, which depended on both slavery and an 
       abundant supply of water, worked through the environment 
       to create predicaments around scarcity, mobility, and 
       belonging whose resolution was a matter of life and death.
       In following the vestiges of these struggles, this 
       investigation documents a valuable example of an 
       environmental challenge centered around insufficient 
       water. Mapping Water in Dominica is available in an open 
       access edition through the Sustainable History Monograph 
       Pilot, thanks to the generous support of the Andrew W. 
       Mellon Foundation and Northwestern University Libraries"--
