[Product Description: In 1833, Great Britain abolished slavery. When this occurred, the sugar planters in the Caribbean were facing the possible prospect of paying their former slaves working-wages. The British Empire had cheaper labor, therefore, the plantation owners, along with the home and colonial governments, began importing hundreds of thousands of indentured laborers from India. The Author, Madhavi Kale, writes based on the archival materials from the period in argument that the imperial administrators sanctioned and authorized distinctly biased accounts of post-emancipation labor conditions and participated in devaluing and excluding alternative accounts of slavery. ][less]
