“…Efforts to boycott the consumption of West Indian sugar were well underway by 1791, however. 22 The installation of anti-saccharite domestic wares in recreated domestic settings might have facilitated a foregrounding both of the agency of the female consumer, and the role of women within the abolition movement itself. At the same time, this would have provided interesting ways to interrogate the relationship between the 'domestic' home setting and the slave-grown products of 'domestic' (national British) colonial territory.…”
