Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Ordeal of Free Labor in the British West Indies is a historical work written by William G. Sewell. The book explores the challenges and struggles faced by former slaves in the British West Indies after the abolition of slavery in the mid-19th century. Sewell delves into the economic and social conditions of the region, including the impact of the sugar industry on the labor market, the role of colonial authorities in shaping labor policies, and the resistance of former slaves to exploitation and oppression. The book also examines the emergence of new forms of labor, such as indentured servitude and contract labor, and their impact on the lives of workers. Through detailed analysis and extensive research, Sewell provides a comprehensive account of the complex and often painful process of transitioning from slavery to freedom in the British West Indies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
