The strategies for the management of reproduction in colonial settings that emerged during the age of abolition continued to reverberate in the British Caribbean in the mid to late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The supervision of midwives of African descent by British and white creole women, concerns about supposedly racially characteristic venereal disease, and a tendency to blame infant mortality on the sexual and parental irresponsibility of laborers, all continued to characterize governmental supervision of colonial reproduction in the Caribbean.
