Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of the history and current state of slavery in Mauritius, a British colony in the Indian Ocean. Slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1833, but the author argues that the system of slavery in Mauritius was so deeply entrenched that it continued in practice long after it was officially abolished. The author provides a detailed account of the conditions under which slaves lived and worked in Mauritius, and he argues that the system was so brutal that it amounted to a form of torture. More so, he argues that there hasnât been enough done to help recently freed slaves. The author argues that recently freed slaves should be supported by institutional Christianity so that they can be better integrated into society and have access to education and other opportunities. This book is a valuable contribution to the historiography of slavery and a fascinating account of the Mauritian slave system.
