Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a thorough examination of the West Indian plantations and trade industry, exploring the economic, social, and political conditions that shaped the region. The author draws upon a wealth of historical documents, providing insights into the complex relationship between the British government, the West Indian planters, and the enslaved Africans who labored on the plantations. The book argues that the sugar tariffs implemented in Britain's 1845 Sugar Duties Act, which allowed for the importation of slave-produced sugar from foreign countries, hindered the West Indian colonies' ability to compete in the global market. The author contends that this policy perpetuated the transatlantic slave trade, as foreign countries continued to rely on slave labor to produce sugar at lower costs. The book also explores the inadequacy of the British government's efforts to suppress the slave trade, despite its commitment to abolishing slavery. The author argues that the lack of a sustained and comprehensive enforcement of anti-slavery measures allowed the slave trade to flourish, leading to the continued suffering and exploitation of enslaved Africans. The author concludes that the British government's policies toward the West Indian colonies and the slave trade were both inconsistent and ineffective. The book sheds light on the complexities of the period and highlights the challenges faced by those working to end the slave trade and promote economic justice in the British Empire.
