Sarah Barber is Senior Lecturer in History at Lancaster University, UK. She publishes widely on early modern Britain, Ireland and the colonial Americas. Her recent work reconfigures colonialism, decolonising the writing of colonial encounter, such as in the monograph, The Disputatious Caribbean (2014). Recovering the voices of the silent and silenced spurs her work to expand historical source material.
