Indenture was the process whereby individuals entered, or were coerced, into an agreement to work in a colony in return for a fixed period of labour, but this was often open to abuses of power. Hidden within this little-known system of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Indian migration under the British Empire are hitherto neglected stories of workers who were both exploited and unfree. Marking the centenary of the abolition of the system in the British Empire (2017-20) this volume brings together new writing from across the Commonwealth. It explores through the medium of poetry and prose the indentured heritage of the twenty-first century.

The abolition of slavery was thecatalyst for the arrival of the first Indianindentured labourers into the sugar colonies ofMauritius (1834), Guyana (1838) and Trinidad (1845),followed some years later by theinception of the system in South Africa (1860)and Fiji (1879). By the time indenture was abolished in the British Empire(191720), over one million Indians had beencontracted, theoverwhelming majority of whom never returned toIndia. Today, an Indian indentured labour diaspora isto be found in Commonwealth countriesincluding Belize, Kenya, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and the Seychelles.Indenture, whereby individuals entered, or were coerced, into anagreement to work in a colony in return for a fixed period of labour, was open to abuse fromrecruitment to plantation. Hidden within this little-known system ofnineteenth- and early twentieth-century Indian migration under the British Empire are hithertoneglected stories of workers who were both exploited and unfree. These include indentured historiesfrom Madeira to the Caribbean, from West Africa to the Caribbean, and from China to the Caribbean, Mauritius andSouth Africa.To mark the centenary of the abolitionof the system in the British Empire (201720) this volume brings together, for the firsttime, new writing from across the Commonwealth.

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
