Cardozo Law Review
Abstract
Several good reasons must have led Michael Craton to choose the title for his very useful work, Searching for the Invisible Man: Slaves and Plantation Life in Jamaica. In the area of slavery and criminal sanctions, however, there is great difficulty with the idea of the "invisibility" of black people. Blacks were, in fact, "evervisible." Indeed, in view of their numbers and ubiquity, the slaves were at the forefront of the minds and concerns of all white people. This was especially true for the dominant political elite who made the laws and controlled the system of the administration of "justice" with the "blindfold off."
