DESCRIPTION:Resilience has been defined by the American Psychological Asso
 ciation as "the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult 
 or challenging life experiences\, especially through mental\, emotional\, 
 and behavioral flexibility to external and internal demands." (Kirmayer et
  al\, 2007). This public talk will share insights from research on the his
 tory of childhood in plantation societies in the eighteenth century. Child
 ren and young adults in plantation societies in the Caribbean routinely ex
 perienced and witnessed traumatizing levels of violence as they were emplo
 yed in industrial working conditions. Less well-documented by historians a
 re the strategies developed in slave societies to respond to these adverse
  conditions. How did enslaved children navigate the traumatizing social an
 d physical environment of the plantation\, and what outcomes emerged after
  slavery was abolished? Finally\, what lessons can we take away from this 
 very challenging chapter in modern history?
