Description:
This thoroughly-researched and well-documented book looks at several of the key aspects of the phenomenon of Indian indentured labour in the West Indies, from beginning to end - from the methods of recruitment in northern India, to the conditions of potential labourers in the Calcutta depots and aboard ships in transit; through conditions of the plantations in British Guiana (Guyana) and the protests and strikes against abuses; to the final abolition campaign in India and its success in 1918.
