Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book unveils a startling reality behind the facade of British colonial rule in East Africa during the late 19th century. Despite Britain's proud stance against slavery, the author exposes the ongoing tolerance and even indirect support of slave labour within British protectorates, particularly on the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba. Through meticulous research and firsthand accounts, the author reveals the hypocrisy of a system where British officials turn a blind eye to the brutal realities of slave trade, even profiting from it through taxes on clove production, a trade heavily reliant on slave labour. The book delves into the intricate web of economic interests, political maneuvering, and cultural norms that perpetuate this system of exploitation. This book challenges the reader to confront the stark contrast between abolitionist ideals and the on-the-ground realities of British colonialism. By shedding light on the plight of enslaved Africans and the intricate mechanisms that sustain their oppression, the author compels us to question the true legacy of British rule in East Africa and its impact on the lives of countless individuals denied their basic human rights. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780332537115_0
